GOTO to a return in a subroutine amidst multiple If-Then's

[picster]

Are there any caveats to using multiple GOTOs to a single return from within IF-THEN-ELSE's in a subroutine? I am using it to skip irrelevant code once the first condition is met.

Example (for reference only, not trying to actually do anything):



carry_out_logic:

if counter=4 then
toggleme=~toggleme
LED_4=1
goto continueon
endif

if counter=6 then
LED_6=1
goto continueon
endif

(...other if-then stuff...)

continueon:
return


I know I can make use of ELSIF to skip irrelevant code, but it just gets really messy to read when dealing with multiple conditions in multiple IF's.

just say "return".

Whenever it is hit, it will return to last call.



carry_out_logic:

if counter=4 then
toggleme=~toggleme
LED_4=1
return
endif

if counter=6 then
LED_6=1
return
endif

(...other if-then stuff...)


return ' if nothing executed so far, it returns anyway.

Your approach to a JUMP sequence at the bottom of a subroutine comes in handy when programming in ASM on older PICs that require Context saving, or when there is one or more other tidy-up duties required before a RETURN, but sayer's method works and it's clean.

And it saves a few instructions. (faster)
