yes, I know that "goto out" will run print_mapping_table_suffix(outfp), because the error path before is done like this.
so I think it should be use "goto out" to run run print_mapping_table_suffix(outfp).

Because it has a comment that "Make build fail", so I am not handle the outfp, only modify the process_mapfile() function.

I agree with you, when program exits, it will releases resources automatically. It's just to make the program clearer and more correct.
