I'm fine with goto too.

Hello Dmitry, my advice just like Wez' is to name it 'goto' because that is what it is. (to drop the 2nd part that might have confused you). best regards marcus p.s.: To make me happy you'd have to drop the mess Sunday, March 12, 2006, 10:44:19 AM, you wrote: We already have exceptions, so we don't need another longjump :) "jump" or "goto"? Just make common decision and I will change it. Thanks. Dmitry.

My vote is +1 for goto, just because that largely describes what it does and how it is used. I don't mind if it winds up being called jump, I just think it will be easier for people to find it
when they
need it if it is called 'goto'. 'goto' also comes with all
the usual
anti-goto propaganda that will help discourage people that
shouldn't
be using it from using it.

Hi, The solution (2) - "goto only" is the winner. So in case of no serious objections, I'll commit the "goto.diff" patch in 24 hour. The last question: What do you thin about Andi's solution about using "jump"
instead of
"goto"? It may make sense, because it is not a full analog of C's goto statement. It is a limited "goto". It allows jump back and
forward,
but not INTO loops and switch statements.
