  Some C++ style guides suggest the following naming convention for functions that crash on any error

  OpenFileOrDie()

    PHP has the always wonderful (and perfectly functional) syntax of

    logUserIn() or die();

      Or Perl

        Perl also has unless() for the very purpose in OP, which is a more sensible choice.

        Where do you think PHP stole it from?

    Personally, I like to call catched exception variables up, so for a rethrow I can throw up;.

    It’s funnier when you try to SysCallAndDie() :-P

    (that’s a real thing in perl btw - I guess that function didn’t get the memo)

    One of the modules in a project I’m working on is called VulkanOrDie which always makes me crack up when I see it in the compilation messages.

    I mean, it makes sense to call ComplainToErrorAndExit just ‘die’, no?

  this is just a menacing try/catch!

  The better try-catch. More intuitive if you ask me.

  You just made me a offer I can’t refuse. I go now to sleep with the fishes…

  It exists, kind of. Python has this construct

  for item in iterable:
      ...
  else:
       ...
  

  which always puzzles me, since it depends on a break statement execution. I always have to look it up when the else block is executed.
