If it is really hard to track, for me, I prefer to let dump_cleanup()
common enough, so can simplify every members thinking.

When use genric *_cleanup(), it means the resource manage management is
a little complex, need use a generic cleanup function for it to be sure
that every thing is not missed, and always save enough.
