How to securely exit program from a function?

[Peter87]

I found this post by “slouken” (i.e. Sam Lantinga, the name you see in all SDL copyright notices) which I think is relevant to this discussion.

The SDL stdlib functions are really there to provide consistent C library interface inside of SDL. The most important reason for this is to be completely independent of C runtime on Windows. They are exported for applications to use if they want, but it’s not a complete C stdlib implementation, so you might need more than what is provided.
