Some C++ style guides suggest the following naming convention for functions that crash on any error
Personally, I like to call catched exception variables
up, so for a rethrow I canthrow up;.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
VulkanOrDiewhich always makes me crack up when I see it in the compilation messages.I mean, it makes sense to call ComplainToErrorAndExit just 'die', no?
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)
Now what about GZDoom's
GoAwayAndDie();?
