The "jump" operator

Hi,

Link: http://news.php.net/php.internals/36536

it is a limited goto, just as advertised. you can get out of blocks
with it, but you can't go into blocks

Shouldn't it be e.g. 'leave' instead of 'goto' then? Just to avoid confusion.

Well, why even add such functionality if it's doubtful it will be used. It
just ads confusion and anger to users, who knows what it does and what harm
can be done. GOTO functionality wasn't present in PHP and i think should
never be ever. break is fine..

But why you didn't keep the "break [1,2,3];" ? That was fine and
understandable and it was limited to loops, but with this will make code
messy, especially with if statements. I personally woun't use it at all,
but
it will be hell to get into badly coded projects with "jump"'s in it.
And it
was easily done with try/catch.

break [1,2,3] is still there

the following was removed

$i = 2;
break $i;

while I, personnaly, agree, that for error-handling situations
try/catch is a superior solution, the new "goto" construct can be
useful for micro-optimizations
I doubt, I will be using it, though :-)

p.s. you replied me offlist. you should "cc" it, if you want to keep
discussion running

One question - are you crazy? I heared about break with goto
capabilities -
that's understandable - you could break 2 or 3 level loops, but
this
one
shit.

Could you please keep polite language?
Details of this construct were known for quite a long time, and it was
available in PHP6 for "ages"

it is a limited goto, just as advertised. you can get out of blocks
with it, but you can't go into blocks
