Re: [9fans] how to avoid a memset() optimization

[Sam <sah@softcardsystems.com>]

or:

{
	int m=0;

	if(++m && (res1 = lock(A)))
	if(++m && (res2 = lock(B)))
	if(++m && (res3 = lock(C))) {
		foo();
		return success;
	}
	switch(m) {
	case 3:	 release(B);
	case 2:  release(A);
	default: return failure;
	}
}

you just need a marker to see how far you got. (I'm not even sure
what the context of this message is, but every time i see the goto
solution to this I have to say something). ;)

Cheers,

Sam
