RETURN command?

[Acetronics2]

You can have one entry-point (Label) and multiple exit points (Returns)

Hi, Enrik

I suppose here the "right" Return is selected through some conditionnal choice ... as , once the sub is entered, the first encountered Return loads the program counter the return address memorized on top of the stack by the " Gosub " command ... so, there can't be " active " multiple returns ( thanks God ! )

did I miss something ???

You didn't miss anything. My point is basically that it's not as simple as just telling the compiler to count the number of GOSUB and RETURN statements and generate an error they don't match.

Hi,

Frankly, I am surprised and a little bit shocked by this kind of practice.
But it may be a matter of "cultural feeling".

I have spent years and years in developing aerospace products. In this world where the readibility of the code and the safety are the keypoints one cannot imagine a sub with more than one entry point and more than one return point.

This is why I was surprised that PBP does not detect a sub without a return.

Yes, I know, most of us work in other areas or are makers or hobbyists. But good practices are good practices.

Now, everybody is free to do what he prefers
