===========

A GraphViz diagram that shows both normal and unexpected program termination flows in C++.

There are multiple ways a C++ program may terminate.

These include both normal and unexpected termination.

This GraphViz diagram shows the program termination flows as defined by the standard.

Standard C++ program terminators include:

* [`std::exit()`](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/utility/program/exit)

* [`std::quick_exit()`](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/utility/program/quick_exit)

* [`std::_Exit()`](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/utility/program/_Exit)

* [`std::abort()`](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/utility/program/abort)

* [`std::terminate()`](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/error/terminate)

* [`std::unexpected()`](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/error/unexpected) (removed in C++17)

For completeness, Microsoft-specific terminators:

* [`__fastfail()`](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn774154.aspx)

For completeness, POSIX-specific terminators:

* [`_exit()`](http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/_Exit.html)

Read more on the associated blog post [here](http://videocortex.io/2016/terminators).

Most of the functions have subtle contexts, conditions and effects that should be considered by checking their documentation.

The diagram does not make an explicit distinction between the C and C++ versions of some of the functions (e.g. `exit()`).

The orange path shows normal program termination.
