    Unhappy Terminating a program

    I'm writing a program and I'm having problems getting it the program to close when a certain event happens. The problem is because most sections of my code are within void functions, including the section involving termination of the program. I know return terminates a function but that only closes the program if its used it main.

    My question is simply this. How would I get a program to close out when a certain event (that is defined in a void) happens?

    Code:
    #include <cstdlib>
    
    // then later, inside some function
    exit( EXIT_FAILURE );
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
