C: Nested Ifs or Gotos

Question

What is the best way to manage resources for a C program. Should I use a nested if structure or should I use goto statements?

I am aware there is a lot

Answer 1

Personally I have used goto in this manner in the past. People hate it because it reminds them of the spaghetti code they used to write/maintain, or because someone who wrote/maintaned such code beat the concept that gotos are evil into them.

You probably could write something decent without goto, sure. But it's not going to do any harm in this kind of circumstance.
