 title: Deprecated: Nonlocal Returns
 ---
 
-Returning from nested anonymous functions has been deprecated. Nonlocal returns are implemented by throwing and catching `scala.runtime.NonLocalReturnException`-s. This is rarely what is intendant by the programmer. It can be problematic because of the hidden performance cost of throwing and catching exceptions. Furthermore, it is a leaky implementation: a catch-all exception handler can intercept a `NonLocalReturnException`.

 A drop-in library replacement is provided in `scala.util.control.NonLocalReturns`:
