Why exactly is this anyways? Pesonally, I agree with Peter that gotos make code much easier to follow, but I always learned that they were frowned upon, my C++ instructer in college refused to even teach about it (although he couldn't tell me why either).
In C++ you are probably supposed to use exceptions to implement that behavior.
The initial idea is that the use of goto makes it hard for the compiler to do code flow optimization. In fact, in case of exceptions or errors, this is mostly irrelevant though.
Also, you state "CodingStyle" as one word...is there a specific page/doc outlining what the preferred coding style is, or is it just a general consensus deal?
