Re: [PLUG] Re: 'goto' in C code


From: Jeff Abrahamson <abrahj01@molbio.sbphrd.com>
|If you've never done it, emerse yourself in a language like lisp or

Or if you're really jonesing, write some code in assembler where the only
thing you have is a goto.  Might be good to get it out of your system.
Plus, if you're *really* going to optimize your code, you're going to
fine-tune the assembly language the compiler emits, right?
