Task
Program termination
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.

Show the syntax for a complete stoppage of a program inside a conditional. This includes all threads/processes which are part of your program.

Explain the cleanup (or lack thereof) caused by the termination (allocated memory, database connections, open files, object finalizers/destructors, run-on-exit hooks, etc.).

Ada

This example may be incorrect due to a recent change in the task requirements or a lack of testing. Please verify it and remove this message. If the example does not match the requirements or does not work, replace this message with Template:incorrect or fix the code yourself.

Ada programs execute in one or more tasks. All tasks created during the execution of a program depend in a hierarchical manner on the task that create them, except for the environment task which executes the "main" procedure for the program. Each task will abort (terminate abnormally) if the task upon which it depends is aborted. This approach to task termination is not recommended because it does not allow tasks to terminate in a known state.

However, this Rosetta Code task requires a simple stoppage of the program including all tasks. The simple way to achieve this is to abort the environment task.

<ada> with Ada.Task_Identification;

procedure Main is

  -- Create as many task objects as your program needs

begin

  -- whatever logic is required in your Main procedure
  if some_condition then
     Ada.Task_Identification.Abort_Task (Ada.Task_Identification.Current_Task);
  end if;

end Main; </ada>

A more correct approach to such termination is to provide an entry in each task created by the environment task which, when called by the task upon which it depends, causes the called task to terminate in a known state.

<ada> procedure Main is

  -- Create as many task objects as your program needs

begin

  -- whatever logic is required in your Main procedure
  if some_condition then
     -- for each task created by the Main procedure
     The_task.Stop;
     -- end the Main procedure
     return;  -- actually, this is not needed
  end if;

end Main; </ada>

<c>#include <stdlib.h>

if(problem){

 exit(integerErrorCode); /*conventionally, error code 0 is the code for "OK", while anything else is an actual problem*/
 /*optionally: return the integerErrorCode from the main() function*/

}</c>

Exit indicating successful completion:

if (true) {
    interp.exitAtTop()
}

Exit indicating some problem:

if (true) {
    interp.exitAtTop("because the task said so")
}

Given condition, an integer which is zero if everything's OK (and we should NOT exit), or a non-zero exit code if there's a problem (and we should exit), then:

Tacit version:

  2!:55^:] condition

Explicit version:

  3 : 'if. 0~: condition do. 2!:55 condition end.'
