I frequently use `goto` in C for this reason. A very common pattern is that I acquire some resources, do something with them, and have a section at the end of the function where I release them in LIFO order. This is labeled so that failure to acquire any resource will jump to a label just before the resources that were acquired before it are freed. Other languages have constructs that obviates this pattern, for example Python has `with` blocks that acquire resources and free them upon leaving the block, and Go has a `defer` statement which adds code to some LIFO structure that always gets executed upon returning.
