Nested "Select Case"s

[Jerson]

Not the Pic basic compiler we discuss here. I've seen other compilers which do. The compiler knows which piece of code goes where in code space in the same way that the compiler knows which variables are used by a subroutine(locals). Therefore, it can compute a goto and return via another goto. It is dependent on the compiler writer who decides how to implement. Think of code more in terms of ASM and you will be able to figure it out.

Ok, I was thinking just on PBP compiler. But return with goto would be possible if you call function/subroutine from one place only. And for that you actually don't need function or subroutine.

You could extend gosub nesting that way.
Save program counter to variable, set it to the address
of a routine, and rewrite the incremented value at the
end of the routine.
In the early days, with single code pages, it sounds like
a reasonable way to extend the nesting a level.

If I remember correctly Darrel did that, it was 48 level software stack.

Good idea lol The thought of actually writing another stack still hadn’t cross my mind.
