Can we do a " go label " in ruby just like in asm? i cant find any
example or documentation about this...

for example...
if()
some codes
go LabelA

else
some other codes
go LabelB

end


LabelA:

codes


LabelB:

codes

How surreal... someone named RubyTalk is posting to ruby-talk and
instructing us to goto a project called ruby-goto. :P

IMHO "goto" is the worst tool you can use. One of the alternatives is
catch and throw

catch :foo do
....
throw :foo
....
throw :foo, any_value_you_like
....
end

Another helpful construct is "case" which can be used in two forms

case value
when condition
....
else
end

case
when expression
....
else
end

If you give us more information about the problem you are trying to
solve we might be able to come up with better solutions.

Hi,

I agree on the case/when statement. But I don't think throw/catch is a true
alternative. It should be reserved for error handling only.

Nicolai

No, for error handling you use "raise" and "rescue". Please pay close
attention to how "catch" and "throw" work, especially the fact that you
can use a second argument to "throw" to pass an object (presumably the
result of a calculation).

Then just use return.

Just googling:
<http://raa.ruby-lang.org/cache/ruby-goto/ruby-goto.....

As the author himself admits
(<http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk...),
this is more a puzzle than of any functional avail.

You should be glad not to be tempted practising this dangerous
programming style. I did not miss the goto statement in any
language for about twenty-five years. Be confident.

Merry Christmas to all!

Bertram

If it can be used that would definitively my first choice. Sometimes it
can't and in these - admittedly rather rare - circumstances you should
rather use catch throw than goto IMHO.

I used goto to implement a parser for ISO 8601 (in C, generated by ruby)
and it is very handy for that. It's just too easy to implement a
statemachine with gotos. But besides generated code (which isn't
intended to be very readable) I do agree that goto is a bad choice.
I think it's just as bad to call a tool all-evil as to use a tool in the
wrong place.

Regards & merry christmas
Stefan
