Most of the C or even Unix function calls return -1 or error handling in c++ NULL in case of any error and set an error code errno. It is set as a global variable and indicates an error occurred during any function call. You can find various error codes defined in

To throw http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2891766/how-to-throw-an-exception-in-c an exception in C, you need to use something platform specific such as Win32's structured exception handling -- but to give any help with that, we'll need to know the platform you care about. –Jerry Coffin May 23 '10 at 12:49 10 ...and don't use Win32 structured exception handling. –Brian R.

Exceptions defined in C++ and other languages though. Exception handling in C++ is specified in the C++ standard "S.15 Exception handling", there is no equivalent section in the C standard. share|improve this answer answered May 23 '10 at 12:49 Brian R.

single target inside a function) is just perfect for C error handling code. Don't be https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3883310 misguided by a silly principle of goto's being always bad. They get the job done in the cleanest possible way, so you should use them for doing cleanups.The examples did not have any resources to clean up, and that is what makes error handling in C painful. In the absence of any cleanup routines, this will do: return ( do_something() == error handling SUCCESS && do_something_else() == SUCCESS && do_final_thing() == SUCCESS) ? SUCCESS : FAILURE; Of course, once you add resources to clean up or error codes that are meaningful (not just success/fail) error handling gets more painful.You should not try to perfect something as mundane as error handling. Just write the damn code and get over it. tspiteri 1624 days ago c error handling Why should the goto be to one single target? Multiple goto statements are good for multiple clean ups without adding indentation levels and without having artificially long logic ands. For example: int init_abc() { if (!init_a()) goto err_a; if (!init_b()) goto err_b; if (!init_c()) goto err_c; return 1; err_c: cleanup_b(); err_b: cleanup_a(); err_a: return 0; } seems to be the cleanest way to do what it does in C. For what it's worth, it is the way a lot of error handling is done in the Linux kernel. exDM69 1624 days ago I guess it's fine to use multiple targets too. However, usually you can get away with one, because free(NULL) and similar cleanups tend to be no-ops. So you have something like: char *foo = 0, *bar = 0; if((foo = malloc(X)) == NULL || (bar = malloc(Y)) == NULL) goto cleanup; make_me_millions(foo, bar); cleanup: free(bar); free(foo); In this case, and many cases like it, there's no need to have two jump targets, because one is good enough. You'll have to declare the variables early on anyway to avoid warnings/e
