goto, not much worse than break/continue

Does not generalize well and depends on error codes.
If your error codes are negative, positive or whatever, the sum can be unpredictable and this could even be exploitable by a malicious user. However, your idea can work in some cases. Here's a variation on it which will always work as long as success error code is 0 and any non-zero return code is an error:


anyerror = 0
...
anyerror |= op(...);
...
anyerror |= op(...);

if (anyerror)
  handle_failure(...);
