假设你不需要单独的条件变量，反转测试并使用else-falthrough作为“ok”路径，将允许你获得更垂直的if/else语句集:

bool failed = false;

// keep going if we don't fail
if (failed = !executeStepA())      {}
else if (failed = !executeStepB()) {}
else if (failed = !executeStepC()) {}
else if (failed = !executeStepD()) {}

runThisFunctionInAnyCase();

省略失败的变量使代码在我看来有点太晦涩了。

在里面声明变量就可以了，不用担心= vs ==。

// keep going if we don't fail
if (bool failA = !executeStepA())      {}
else if (bool failB = !executeStepB()) {}
else if (bool failC = !executeStepC()) {}
else if (bool failD = !executeStepD()) {}
else {
     // success !
}

runThisFunctionInAnyCase();

这很模糊，但很紧凑:

// keep going if we don't fail
if (!executeStepA())      {}
else if (!executeStepB()) {}
else if (!executeStepC()) {}
else if (!executeStepD()) {}
else { /* success */ }

runThisFunctionInAnyCase();

As @Jefffrey said, you can use the conditional short-circuit feature in almost every language, I personally dislike conditional statements with more than 2 condition (more than a single && or ||), just a matter of style. This code does the same (and probably would compile the same) and it looks a bit cleaner to me. You don't need curly braces, breaks, returns, functions, lambdas (only c++11), objects, etc. as long as every function in executeStepX() returns a value that can be cast to true if the next statement is to be executed or false otherwise.

if (executeStepA())
 if (executeStepB())
  if (executeStepC())
   //...
    if (executeStepN()); // <-- note the ';'

executeThisFunctionInAnyCase();

任何时候，任何函数返回false，都不会调用下一个函数。

我喜欢@Mayerz的答案，因为你可以在运行时改变要调用的函数(以及它们的顺序)。这有点像观察者模式，其中有一组订阅者(函数、对象等)，只要满足给定的任意条件，就会调用和执行这些订阅者。在许多情况下，这可能是一个过度杀戮，所以明智地使用它:)

你也可以这样做:

bool isOk = true;
std::vector<bool (*)(void)> funcs; //vector of function ptr

funcs.push_back(&executeStepA);
funcs.push_back(&executeStepB);
funcs.push_back(&executeStepC);
//...

//this will stop at the first false return
for (auto it = funcs.begin(); it != funcs.end() && isOk; ++it) 
    isOk = (*it)();
if (isOk)
 //doSomeStuff
executeThisFunctionInAnyCase();

通过这种方式，您可以获得最小的线性增长大小，每次调用+1行，并且易于维护。

编辑:(谢谢@Unda)我不太喜欢，因为在我看来你失去了能见度:

bool isOk = true;
auto funcs { //using c++11 initializer_list
    &executeStepA,
    &executeStepB,
    &executeStepC
};

for (auto it = funcs.begin(); it != funcs.end() && isOk; ++it) 
    isOk = (*it)();
if (isOk)
 //doSomeStuff
executeThisFunctionInAnyCase();

有一种很好的技术，它不需要使用return语句的额外包装器函数(Itjax规定的方法)。它使用了一个do while(0)伪循环。while(0)确保它实际上不是一个循环，而是只执行一次。但是，循环语法允许使用break语句。

void foo()
{
  // ...
  do {
      if (!executeStepA())
          break;
      if (!executeStepB())
          break;
      if (!executeStepC())
          break;
  }
  while (0);
  // ...
}

只做

if( executeStepA() && executeStepB() && executeStepC() )
{
    // ...
}
executeThisFunctionInAnyCase();

就是这么简单。

由于三次编辑都从根本上改变了问题(如果算上版本1的修订，则是四次)，我包括了我正在回答的代码示例:

bool conditionA = executeStepA();
if (conditionA){
    bool conditionB = executeStepB();
    if (conditionB){
        bool conditionC = executeStepC();
        if (conditionC){
            ...
        }
    }
}

executeThisFunctionInAnyCase();

如果你不喜欢goto和do {} while (0);循环和喜欢使用c++，你也可以使用临时lambda来达到同样的效果。

[&]() { // create a capture all lambda
  if (!executeStepA()) { return; }
  if (!executeStepB()) { return; }
  if (!executeStepC()) { return; }
}(); // and immediately call it

executeThisFunctionInAnyCase();
