Since the language is not known I can only assume an untyped or weakly typed language and startupFailure might be true for an unbelievable amount of values. You're just putting that right with your assignment (again assuming true is a boolean literal). Nothing weird to see here, run along! :-D

Ah. Here's my version:
if (startupFailure)
{
DoSomething();
}
{
DoSomethingElse();

It just made me think of a new pattern: the Failure Swallowing pattern (a behavioural one).
bool failure;
try {
// Some lengthy and fault-prone code
// ...
}
catch {
failure = false;
}
finally {
failure = false;
}
if (failure) {
failure = false;
}And here is it; you will never see any error anymore. ;P
