You clearly don’t understand the problem. Imagine all the ifs properly inverted like you want them to be. Good. Now imagine you have to free 6 allocations, close 3 FDs, and wait on a few threads before returning. Imagine you have 10 early returns. Your cleanup function would be an unreadably silly 10 arg thing with extra pointers everywhere and you have to call it 10 times. Thats insane boilerplate just because you cant stomach a local goto. Why not just goto cleanup, avoid the mess, save a bunch of time, and cleanup naturally and locally in the same function where everything is defined?
