When studying, one of my lecturers forced us all to write 1'000 times on a paper: "I shall never use goto". In his opinion this way we would remember it. He was correct.

int count = 0;
loop:
if (count < 1000)
{
Console.WriteLine("I shall never use goto");
count++;
goto loop;
}

2000 goto's will suffice for this month, please stop it (that may take another goto, break would not work in your loop).

I don't think that I have used a GOTO since 8 bit Atari BASIC in the mid '80s.
I think that a goto would be acceptable if it would clearly make the code simpler and easier to read. However, if you really has such a complex structure that a goto would actually improve the code, it should probably be completely rewritten instead.
Another sitaution where a goto might be acceptable is for performance reasons. However, it's not very often that a goto would actually improve performance much.
Despite everything, the person most likely to be fooling you next is yourself.

When programming in assembly or a related language that lacks higher level control constructs.
Today's lesson is brought to you by the word "niggardly". Remember kids, don't attribute to racism what can be explained by Scandinavian language roots.

when they are called branch or jump, it is an entirely different matter.

I was thinking that myself earlier - I don't use assembly at all on the PC, but I use it exclusively for PIC programming where goto and/or bra (and their variants bnz etc) depending on the family I'm using are invaluble. I'm sure alot of our lovely gotoless code ends up being assembled down to jump instructions.

I especially like the "skip next instruction if..." kind of instructions, such as BTFSS on PIC 16F84.
They may well flabbergast these high-level programmers that frown on a simple goto...

I've recently moved from the 16F to 18F series and in the last couple of weeks because of peripheral requirements the dsPIC30F series. You should have a look at the number of variations that are available for those instruction types (the PIC I'm currently using[^] - secion 18-2). Most of these are 2 cycles (8 clocks) including the branch, the non branching instructions are mostly 1 cycle. Running at 30MIPS some code can perform (almost) as well as a PC running at supposedly several GHz because of the inefficient code and wasted clock cycles.

You should use goto whenever you need it (this is a rather subtle point). 
The problem is that unexperienced programmers (aka 'Senior Developers') will misuse it. That's the reason for the draconian sentences against the poor goto statement.

IMHO, Goto is only acceptable during the next Ice Age and every 3rd Ice Age thereafter.
Seriously, I haven't used one in over 8 years, and don't plan on doing so anytime soon. If your app, data model, algorithm, ..., is designed correctly, you shouldn't need one.

Have you ever seen the little window stickers of the kid peeing on some company logo?? Put the Goto in place of the logo...

Ok, that is definitely an acceptable use of goto.

Hi
I've a DLL that basically refers 2 another .Net DLLs, with the given situation is it possible for us to create only one TLB file using (TLBEXP.EXE) with all dependencies?
Thanks in advance ...
|
|
|
|
|
Are you asking if it's possible to get all three .DLL's in the same TLB? No, it's not. AT least, I've never heard of a tool that will do this.
|
|
|
|
|
Thanks for your reply.
So what is the option to build one CCW setup that should actually expose all DLLs?
|
|
|
|
|
Why do you have to have one?
AFAIK, there isn't an option.
|
|
|
|

OK, i think if i explain my situation you can suggest me.
I've an application (.Net C#) and i want to give an interface to COM based users, for this i need to ship all APIs (like say i've 10 DLLs). I just dont want to build 10 different TLB file and register them separately at client machines.
Want to build one wrapper class that will expose all other DLLs, this is what i want to achieve. How can i get it done?
Thanks in advance.

You just said it, right there. Build a COM-based wrapper class. All those .DLL's are still going to have to be registered though...

There are no standard-functions to do this in .NET that I'm aware of, I'm afraid you'll have to roll your own.
