Re:Loop Exits and Structured Programming: Reopening the Deba... by woliveirajr on Tuesday June 13, 2017 @10:49AM (#14545129)
Yes, I know :) . Having learnt to program some microprocessors, I love how everything is evaluated in terms of jump-if-zero, jump-if-not-zero. Well, even some cracks to copy-protection from older games (dating myself here) was just a single change from a hex 74 to a hex 75 somewhere in the code.

And, sometimes, even in small programs, knowing where you are after some jumps is a messy thing.

I just don't have all that rant against jumps (or goto's). I know where they live, what they eat, when they are useful and when are not. :)
