从函数式编程的角度来看，这是一个众所周知的、很好解决的问题——也许是单子。

为了回应下面我收到的评论，我在这里编辑了我的介绍:你可以在不同的地方找到实现c++单子的完整细节，这将让你实现Rotsor建议的目标。这需要一段时间来理解单子，所以我要在这里建议一个快速的“穷人”单子式机制，你只需要知道boost::optional。

设置你的计算步骤如下:

boost::optional<EnabledContext> enabled(boost::optional<Context> context);
boost::optional<EnergisedContext> energised(boost::optional<EnabledContext> context);

显然，每个计算步骤都可以执行类似于返回boost::none这样的操作，如果给出的可选参数为空的话。例如:

struct Context { std::string coordinates_filename; /* ... */ };

struct EnabledContext { int x; int y; int z; /* ... */ };

boost::optional<EnabledContext> enabled(boost::optional<Context> c) {
   if (!c) return boost::none; // this line becomes implicit if going the whole hog with monads
   if (!exists((*c).coordinates_filename)) return boost::none; // return none when any error is encountered.
   EnabledContext ec;
   std::ifstream file_in((*c).coordinates_filename.c_str());
   file_in >> ec.x >> ec.y >> ec.z;
   return boost::optional<EnabledContext>(ec); // All ok. Return non-empty value.
}

然后把它们串在一起:

Context context("planet_surface.txt", ...); // Close over all needed bits and pieces

boost::optional<EnergisedContext> result(energised(enabled(context)));
if (result) { // A single level "if" statement
    // do work on *result
} else {
    // error
}

这样做的好处是，您可以为每个计算步骤编写定义清晰的单元测试。此外，调用读起来像简单的英语(通常是函数式风格的情况)。

如果你不关心不可变性，并且每次返回相同的对象更方便，你可以使用shared_ptr或类似的方法来提出一些变化。

TLDR: RAII、事务性代码(仅设置结果或在已经计算时返回内容)和异常。

长一点的回答:

在C语言中，这类代码的最佳实践是在代码中添加一个EXIT/CLEANUP/other标签，在该标签中进行本地资源的清理，并返回错误代码(如果有的话)。这是最佳实践，因为它将代码自然地划分为初始化、计算、提交和返回:

error_code_type c_to_refactor(result_type *r)
{
    error_code_type result = error_ok; //error_code_type/error_ok defd. elsewhere
    some_resource r1, r2; // , ...;
    if(error_ok != (result = computation1(&r1))) // Allocates local resources
        goto cleanup;
    if(error_ok != (result = computation2(&r2))) // Allocates local resources
        goto cleanup;
    // ...

    // Commit code: all operations succeeded
    *r = computed_value_n;
cleanup:
    free_resource1(r1);
    free_resource2(r2);
    return result;
}

在C语言中，在大多数代码库中，if(error_ok !=…goto代码通常隐藏在一些方便的宏(RET(computation_result)， ENSURE_SUCCESS(computation_result, return_code)等)后面。

c++比C提供了额外的工具:

清理块功能可以作为RAII实现，这意味着您不再需要整个清理块，并允许客户端代码添加早期返回语句。 当无法继续时抛出抛出，转换所有if(error_ok !=…变成直接的通话。

等价的c++代码:

result_type cpp_code()
{
    raii_resource1 r1 = computation1();
    raii_resource2 r2 = computation2();
    // ...
    return computed_value_n;
}

这是最佳实践，因为:

It is explicit (that is, while error handling is not explicit, the main flow of the algorithm is) It is straightforward to write client code It is minimal It is simple It has no repetitive code constructs It uses no macros It doesn't use weird do { ... } while(0) constructs It is reusable with minimal effort (that is, if I want to copy the call to computation2(); to a different function, I don't have to make sure I add a do { ... } while(0) in the new code, nor #define a goto wrapper macro and a cleanup label, nor anything else).

I'm adding an answer for the sake of completeness. A number of other answers pointed out that the large condition block could be split out into a separate function. But as was also pointed out a number of times is that this approach separates the conditional code from the original context. This is one reason that lambdas were added to the language in C++11. Using lambdas was suggested by others but no explicit sample was provided. I've put one in this answer. What strikes me is that it feels very similar to the do { } while(0) approach in many ways - and maybe that means it's still a goto in disguise....

earlier operations
...
[&]()->void {

    if (!check()) return;
    ...
    ...
    if (!check()) return;
    ...
    ...
    if (!check()) return;
    ...
    ...
}();
later operations

如果你不需要在执行过程中引入局部变量，那么你通常可以将其平化:

if (check()) {
  doStuff();
}  
if (stillOk()) {
  doMoreStuff();
}
if (amIStillReallyOk()) {
  doEvenMore();
}

// edit 
doThingsAtEndAndReportErrorStatus()

typedef bool (*Checker)();

Checker * checkers[]={
 &checker0,&checker1,.....，&checkerN,NULL
};

bool checker1(){
  if(condition){
    .....
    .....
    return true;
  }
  return false;
}

bool checker2(){
  if(condition){
    .....
    .....
    return true;
  }
  return false;
}

......

void doCheck(){
  Checker ** checker = checkers;
  while( *checker && (*checker)())
    checker++;
}

怎么样?

使用异常。您的代码将看起来更加清晰(并且创建异常正是为了处理程序执行流中的错误)。有关清理资源(文件描述符，数据库连接等)，请阅读文章“为什么c++不提供一个“finally”结构?”

#include <iostream>
#include <stdexcept>   // For exception, runtime_error, out_of_range

int main () {
    try {
        if (!condition)
            throw std::runtime_error("nope.");
        ...
        if (!other condition)
            throw std::runtime_error("nope again.");
        ...
        if (!another condition)
            throw std::runtime_error("told you.");
        ...
        if (!yet another condition)
            throw std::runtime_error("OK, just forget it...");
    }
    catch (std::runtime_error &e) {
        std::cout << e.what() << std::endl;
    }
    catch (...) {
        std::cout << "Caught an unknown exception\n";
    }
    return 0;
}
