Is calling exit() after show_error() necessary? - El Forum - 07-28-2012

I want to be sure no successive lines of code are called if a conditional is met that triggers show_error(). Does this halt script execution or should I place exit() or die() after to be certain?

show_error() and show_404() both contain exit() calls already. You can do it if it makes you feel better, but it's not necessary.

I thought so but I couldn't find those call in the CI source. It uses output buffering to display the formatted error message and beyond that I could determine any call to exit(). Thanks for the clarification.
