I often do something like this:

proc(someFunc(a, b, c));
proc(anotherFunc(d, e, f));

Where proc() processes the return value and conditionally throws 
on error.  You really need one such function per API, but that's 
not a big deal.  You can kind of get away with macros if you're 
using C, but all they can really do is jump to an expected Lerror 
label.
