Here goes my alternate.
I am a C++ programmer. My goal is always to try to make code short and simple.

bool bFailed=false;
if (!bFailed) bFailed= condition1_fails;
if (!bFailed) bFailed= condition2_fails;
if (!bFailed) bFailed= condition3_fails;

if (bFailed) DoFailedCleanup();
else { 
  PerformActionOnAllSuccess(); 
  DoNormalCleanup();
}

Pros

Short and simple to read
You can set debug breakpoints in any condition to test return values
No functions / exceptions needed
