Question

I have to use C for one project and I am thinking of using longjmp/setjmp for error handling as I think it will be much easier to handle error in one central place than return codes. I would appreciate if there are some leads on how to do this.

I am particularly concerned with resource cleanup being correctly done if any such error occurs.

Also how do I handle errors that result in multi-threaded programs using them?

Even better, is there some C library that already exists for error/exception handling?

Have a look at this example/tutorial:
