Good old segmentation and goto's at work! Are goto's still considered harmful?
- CuriousCosmic 2y agoWhat's the paper title? "goto considered harmful considered harmful" I think? Even in modern C programming goto is still pulling its weight for handling unrolling and cleanups.
- shiroiushi 2y agoThe paper was written by Dijkstra, and even he doesn't like how it's become some kind of mindless mantra, instead of a warning against spaghetti code which it was. He never meant that you should never, ever use GOTO.
