Not only wrongly, but really slow as well. That'll be $5.99 a month, please.

Same, i don't like south-facing RGB though; at the right angle they peak out behind keycaps and just drill me right in the damn eye (photosensitivity sucks...). That and the lack of dedicated indicator LEDs for caps/num lock are the only things i don't like about my current keychron keyboard.

I prefer good documentation over stack overflow, but I prefer stack overflow over bad documentation. If other programmers are mostly using stack overflow, it means the documentation sucks

I misremembered the whole thing. It was still related to cleaning up after a failure, but there was only one resource I had to deal with. That's how it looks like:

    sqlite3 *db;
    int r;

    r = sqlite3_open("./data.db", &db);
    if (r) {
        std::cerr << "Can't open the database: " << sqlite3_errmsg(db) << std::endl;
        return r;
    }

    r = sqlite3_exec(db, "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS foo(...);", nullptr, nullptr, nullptr);
    if (r != SQLITE_OK) {
        std::cerr << "Can't create a table called foo: " << sqlite3_errmsg(db) << std::endl;
        goto out;
    }

    // a few more sqlite3_exec calls;
    // some sqlite3_prepare_v2 calls combined with sqlite3_bind_* and sqlite3_step calls
    // for repeated queries.

out:
    sqlite3_close(db);
    return r;

even if the flags look less elegant you really want to avoid using goto’s in pretty much every context in modern C. it basically only exists for backwards compatibility purposes, so all our shit from 1999 doesn’t go up in flames. it is considered bad practice to use it now because it really complicates the control flow logic and it is much less modular/portable.

i don’t understand thinking using flags would be less elegant, either. wouldn’t you rather have a neat list of everything for garbage collection purposes than having to search through goto statements thrown all around the code?

either way, if you’re in this situation in the first place, you’re writing bad C code. memory management should never manifest in implementation like this.

Yeah, it's not called goto, but it's functionally the same.
