Well I think there is this choice:
- either do use exceptions and exception handling, thinking of it
as your way of /optionally/ implicitly returning error code from 
inside a routine, i.e. your 'way to return another value from function'

- or (if possible by compiler switches) disable exception handling code
and handle all exceptions by hand. Or just don't use it, so it can be
optimized out. Implies that you have to be prepared for every corner case
in your error-paths as well.

As far as I see there is no third way. Or is there? :)
