It ultimately obfuscates the structure...	by HadEnuf	2002-06-11 09:59:44
...if you carry all exception conditions to the outside of a deeply nested loop; and it exposes the control variables of inner loops to code outside their normal scope. Both, in my experience (and I've been doing this for a long time), are actually more hazardous than a GOTO. The only clean way out of this, is to use a language with real exception handling (and the "C++" way isn't clean). Unfortunately, most of those (like "Ada") are almost too horrible to contemplate, even for a dyed-in-the-wool language lawyer like myself. -- HadEnuf?
