How can I respond to that?
I've already said I can't tell how much bigger, less readable, less
productive it might have been to code like that, how many extra
functions etc, compared with just using the odd goto.
For my part, I'm in a position where I can add new features [to the
langages I use] that can eliminate many of /my/ uses of goto.
Yet there are still quite a few, because it's not that easy. I'm not
preparated to sacrifice the clean lines of my code, add extra indent
levels, more functions etc just so I can say I don't use any gotos.
(Here's one recent feature that I'm trying out, based on someone's idea
in comp.lang.misc. First, the original code with goto:
case msg
when wm_syskeydown then
if wparam = vkf10 then
msg := wm_keydown
goto dokey
fi
...
when wm_keydown, wm_keyup then
dokey:
.... do other stuff with msg
And here's the same code using the 'recase' feature:
case msg
when wm_syskeydown then
if wparam = vkf10 then
msg := wm_keydown
recase wm_keydown
fi
...
when wm_keydown, wm_keyup then
.... do other stuff with msg
No 'goto' and no label. (And no extra bools, no extra indents, no extra
functions either.) But it doesn't cover all the ways that you may want
to share blocks of code in such kinds of statement. I'm still working on
an elegant way to express that that doesn't look worse than goto.)
