    Sorry Chris, but that second option is just a <hushed_tones>goto</hushed_tones> that avoids using the letters 'g' or 't'. I know you can do better than that!

    Sorry Chris, but that second option is just a goto that avoids using the letters 'g' or 't'. The reason GOTO has gotten a bad rap is that it has historically been used without any concept of structured control-flow. Programs are generally easiest to understand if they can be subdivided into nested blocks, such that there are few jumps across block boundaries, and all inter-block jumps are of a few specific forms (e.g. jumping to the start or end of an enclosing block). Consider:

    if (condition) goto TRUE_CASE;
    FALSE_CASE:
    do_false_stuff();
    goto END_IF;
    TRUE_FASE:
    do_true_stuff();
    END_IF:

    Not quite as nice as using the C block constructs, but not particularly nasty. On the other hand, prior to the invention of structured programming, such code would often have been written as:

    if (condition) goto TRUE_CASE;
    do_false_stuff;
    END_IF:

    .. somewhere else in the code ..
    TRUE_CASE:
    do_true_stuff();
    goto END_IF;

    The code for the true case would often be placed rather arbitrarily. In assembly code written for some machines, it might be placed before the start of the routine which used it, so as to allow an efficient short-displacement branch. Trying to follow code whose physical arrangement bears no relation to its logical flow is, of course, difficult. The problem, though, isn't the use of GOTO per se but rather the use of control flow that doesn't follow any logical structure. (nb: I do sometimes write assembly code which is more like the latter than the former, particularly in cases where the 'if' case occurs far less frequently than the 'else' case, and the performance impact of adding an extra branch to the 'else' case would be significant and unacceptable. I don't like such code, but sometimes it is necessary).

                I use browser default. I've never seen a font only scaling that didn't fubar page layouts at least somewhat. Opera's zoom probably comes closest but there're some video plugins it doesn't scale.

                  Even so, it's easy enough to do something along the lines of:

                  success = Operation()

                  if (success == TRUE)
                  {
                  ...
                  }

                  if (success == TRUE)
                  {
                  ...
                  }

                  etc or

                  do {
                  success = Operation();
                  if (!success) break;

                  success = Operation2();
                  if (!success) break;

                  ...
                  } while(false)

                  cheers, Chris Maunder

                  Or if it's just functions being called in sequence success = success && Operation1(); success = success && Operation2(); success = success && Operation3(); or more obfuscated... success = success && Operation1() && Operation2() && Operation3();

                    If there were nothing other than functions called in sequence, then one could use:

                    {
                    if (operation1())
                    return -1;
                    else if (operation2())
                    return -2;
                    else if (operation3())
                    return -3;
                    return 0; /* Success! */
                    }

                    which is I think nicer than using the flag. The place the flag is helpful is when there are things going on other than the simple operations, e.g.

                    if (!error)
                    {
                    setup_for_operation2();
                    error = operation2();
                    }

                    I'm not a particular fan of using the && operator; if one wants to put each operation on one line, one could code it as

                    if (!error) error = operation3();

                    which is clearer than the && version, is more versatile when zero is error case (the error flag will hold the particular error code returned, instead of having to hold zero or one), and may yield more efficient code if 0 is error and 1 is success (a statement like ok = ok && operation3(); is likely to perform a redundant write to ok when it's equal to zero.

                      This developer might not be as stupid as we think. Just think how impressed a business user ( with no concept of programming) must be when this code is shown to him/her. A business person will think that a developer that can write code that looks like this (extremely complex in the business users eyes) must be a genius and a great asset to the company. What better job security can you get?

                        And the comments on the terminating braces are useless, too.

                          I like writing such code. It is typical COM-Spaghetti. :~ Congratulations. :rose: (ROFL)

                            Even so, it's easy enough to do something along the lines of:

                            success = Operation()

                            if (success == TRUE)
                            {
                            ...
                            }

                            if (success == TRUE)
                            {
                            ...
                            }

                            etc or

                            do {
                            success = Operation();
                            if (!success) break;

                            success = Operation2();
                            if (!success) break;

                            ...
                            } while(false)

                            cheers, Chris Maunder

                            How about

                            try
                            {
                            hr = Operation1();
                            if (!SUCCESS(hr)) throw hr;

                            hr = Operation2();
                            if (!SUCCESS(hr)) throw hr;
                            
                            hr = Operator3();
                            if (!SUCCESS(hr)) throw hr;
                            
                            // ...
                            

                            }
                            catch (HRESULT hErr)
                            {
                            // ...
                            }

                            ?
