I propose a new, more threatening kind of control flow.
do { /* something */ } or else { /* you don't want to find out */ }Some C++ style guides suggest the following naming convention for functions that crash on any error
OpenFileOrDie()PHP has the always wonderful (and perfectly functional) syntax of
logUserIn() or die();Or Perl
Perl also has
unless()for the very purpose in OP, which is a more sensible choice.Oh, and if you need to reinforce your belief that Perl is a mess, the single-quote character can be used as a package separator instead of “::”. This was set in the 90s when nobody was quite sure of the right syntax for package separators, so it borrowed “::” from C++ and the single quote from Ada (I think).
That means the
ifn't()in OP can be interpreted as calling thet()function on theifnpackage.The “::” separator is vastly preferred, though. Single quotes run havoc on syntax highlighting text editors (since they can also be used for strings). About the only time I’ve seen it used is a joke module,
Acme::don't.
do { /* something */ } do hast { /* something */ }do { /* something */ } do hast { /* something */ } do hast mich { /* something */ }
This can’t be for real. I’ll stick with C11 thank you.
Here you dropped this:
#define ifnt(x) if (!(x))
Reduce exclamation marks!? Great Scott!!! Is there a shortage of punctuation in the future!?
cap () {
}
nocap () {}
nocap(frfr){
}
