Is there any way in C/C++ to stop a backtracking algorithm after finding the first solution without exiting the program.
I want my function to immediately exit the function,not to quit every level of recurrsion one by one stating return.

You could use setjmp()/longjmp() in both C and C++ for a crude but effective way of bypassing the need to pass a flag all the way back.
