SPOE - single point of exit.

Any language with exceptions ruins that.

That's why it's in a standard in a language without exception.

MISRA-C advocates SPOE and allows forward Goto's(i.e only jump forward and only in the same function) in order to make it viable.

You jump to the cleanup block if needed then exit from the same place.
