I see std::filesystem as evidence that C++ finally admits the deficiency of
its advance error handling system (std::exception). But the result is worse
than C.

That's just a mere assertion without any facts. In fact, exception
handling makes error handling possible with a fraction of the code
length, because most parts of the code don't need to handle errors,
whereas in C they do. In C every call level has to deal with erorrs,
whereas in C++ only one level at the upper edge has to catch the
errors.

You can of course use setjmp & longjmp in C but depending on how many levels
up you jump they could be more trouble than they're worth. I think I've only
ever used them once.
