There are generally two classic approaches to error handling:

There is also the proposal from Herb Sutter [1].
It's not a library solution and changes even the ABI but it's

He also tries to get compatibility into C via an extension.

This would be great to have in D. Swift [0] has something
similar, and personally after using it for a few years, I can say
that I've seen next to no unhandled exception errors in iOS code
at least.
