    Default Null statement (NOP or CONTINUE)

    I have occasional need for a null statement, one which effectively does nothing. In assembly, this would be NOP; back in the good (bad?) old days of FORTRAN, it would be CONTINUE.

    I've been defining a dummy byte variable (cleverly called DUMMY) and just using

    DUMMY=0

    Is there a better solution? What, in terms of code space and/or execution time, is best?
