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()

Personally, I like to call catched exception variables up, so for a rethrow I can throw up;.

[–] TwilightKiddy@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago

Except rethrowing an exception in C# is just throw;, anything else is a crime against the person who reads your stacktraces.

One of the modules in a project I'm working on is called VulkanOrDie which always makes me crack up when I see it in the compilation messages.

[–] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 4 points 2 years ago

I mean, it makes sense to call ComplainToErrorAndExit just 'die', no?

[–] OpenStars@startrek.website 3 points 2 years ago

It's funnier when you try to SysCallAndDie() :-P

(that's a real thing in perl btw - I guess that function didn't get the memo)

[–] yum13241@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Now what about GZDoom's GoAwayAndDie();?

[–] Strawberry@lemmy.blahaj.zone 40 points 2 years ago

this is just a menacing try/catch!

It_would_be_a_shame_if(condition)

[–] Mesa@programming.dev 9 points 2 years ago

The better try-catch. More intuitive if you ask me.

[–] jadelord@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 2 years ago

It exists, kind of. Python has this construct

for item in iterable:
    ...
else:
     ...

which always puzzles me, since it depends on a break statement execution. I always have to look it up when the else block is executed.

You just made me a offer I can't refuse. I go now to sleep with the fishes...
