As an example, you can take a look at the code in 
`clang/test/OpenMP/cancel_codegen_cleanup.cpp` test. It is very simple. The 
simplest version of the same code will something like this:
```
struct Obj {
  int a;
  Obj();
  ~Obj();
};

void foo() {
      #pragma omp for
      for (int i=0; i<1000; i++) {
            if(i==100) {
                Obj obj;
                #pragma omp cancel for
            }
        }
}

```
The object `obj` won't be deleted correctly with your scheme.
