Is there any way to say "if these parameters are bad, quit immediately"?

Is there any way to say "if these parameters are bad, quit immediately"?

Currently there is no such thing (except implementing it manually using flags).

There is a request to add something like assert() in:

https://github.com/openscad/openscad/issues/381

which is a bit awkward to implement as it would be useful to handle both
functions and modules.

ciao,
Torsten.

I had an issue like this in a Customizer script where users could choose
values that could make a nonsense result. Because of the lack of a feedback
or reporting loop, I chose to detect the conditoin and replace the generated
object with a text object containing a message.

So I executed normally but exposed a different object.

Yeh, but it would be handy to have something deep in your code like

exit("you idiot!");

Add an option to my theoretical  echof()
https://github.com/openscad/openscad/issues/741  - who's name can be just
echo() but proposed within functions. And echo() the module too of course.

echo("You idiot!", $exit=true);
// $exit, to try to reduce backward compatibility conflict with normal
variable names.

I would prefer an exit() function, or, if we want a message a different
function like die() or fatal().

I really don't like functions/methods/subroutines with flag parameters.

True, I was trying an extra push for echof() ;) ...
