  1. In Topic: do {} while(0);

    With the do while loop, you can break out of the code on failure:

    do
{
  // Failure with return a null(0) value.
  p = CreateNewObject();
  if (p == 0) break;

  o = CreateDifferentObject();
  if (o == 0) break;

  //...
} while(0);


    The above method can be avoided. Assuming that the code above is legally correct and the intention is to "do stuff" only when the creation of objects p && o succeeds, then I find the following examples more intuitive:

    Example 1
    =========

    //...
p = CreatNewObject();
o = CreateDifferentObject(); 

if(p != 0 && o != 0){ // true if the creation of p && o succeeded
   //do stuff ...
}

// Perhaps some more code and/or cleanup ...


    Note that Example 1 incurs the extra cost of creating the object o regardless of whether or not the creation of p succeeded.

    Example 2
    =========

    bool created = false;

//...
p = CreateNewObject();

if(p != 0){
   o = CreateDifferentObject();
   if(o != 0) created = true;
}

if(created){ // true if the creation of p && o succeeded
   //do stuff ...
}

// Perhaps some more code and/or cleanup ...


    Cheers!
