    Well, when there's a reason, and it's thought out properly, there's nothing wrong with a goto.

    I think the reason would hopefully be better than "someone at microsoft slacked off"

      Now I have to restructure some performance critical code entirely because of the lack "break" statement. I'm angry at their lack of effort.

      You could be starting a trend, here: Whoever designed AnnoyingProduct should be forced to use it I can think of several values for AnnoyingProduct, without even putting my mind to it

        It's a good principle, IMO. :-D

            If it had a break statement, it would probably follow C++ and overload it. :mad: But surely it has...you know...goto. :laugh:

            You cannot overload the break statement in C++.

                  If does have goto, and i'm seriously considering it at this point

                  Do it. break is just a thinly-disguised goto anyway. :) Here's an article from 2007 with some alternatives for the unsupported features: CodeDom Assistant[^]

                    What I meant was that C++ overloads break itself, although I suppose this can be debated. But it's annoying not to be able to exit a loop using break when inside a switch statement that's embedded within that loop.

                        OK, now I got it. I think I've used the break statement millions times without ever considering its 'double' nature (I mean, I knew and eccepted it blindly)! :) Thank you for the explanation.

                        In testa che avete, signor di Ceprano?

                            Just document what the goto is in there for. Even Dykstra said goto has a place.
