It won't work for clang, I'm afraid. You need a list of desructors here. But 
clang uses recursive codegen and it is very hard to walk over the call tree and 
gather all required destructors into a list. At least, it will require 
significant rework in clang frontend.
Instead of generating the branch to cancellation block in the builder, I would 
suggest to call a single callback function provided by the frontend, which will 
generate correct branch over a chain of the destructor blocks. In this case, 
you won't need this cancellation block at all. This is what I meant when said 
that you need to think about this problem right now. That current solution is 
not very suitable for the use in the frontend.
