In particular you seem to be responding to a strawman, since nowhere did I say C error handling was better than structured exceptions. The parent asked what was functionally different between laziness around checking error codes versus laziness around try/catching.

I simply disagree with this statement, as silent failure is also very common in case of C, which is probably the worst option. (Especially that it may cause memory safety issues, that may not even materialize until much later).

No need to take my comment that seriously though, I had no bad intention whatsoever.
