jumping out of a gosub reminder

[pedja089]

franken code ?

Not necessarlly, Lot of hi level programing language have this already implemented. eg in .net: On Error GoTo, Try, catch, etc...
Same could be done for HW. If something external happened then you need unconditionally goto something, and start program from known place.

It is not easy to implement, by any means. But it could very useful.
What longpole001 have exactly on his mind, I can't tell...

You could count your gosub nesting level in another variable.
Increment for every gosub, and decrement for every return.
You don’t know about PBP's own gosubs, but they are supposed to be the compiler’s problem, and aren’t your responsibility.

So you would know if the value wasn’t zero when you thought it should be.

When compiler gosub, it will always return. Unless you use ISR to modify stack, which I wouldn't recommend.

hmm, in python at least a sub with a "try" still returns , even if the processing aborts and executes an "try" error routine.
i see no goto or stack popping going on.

a couple of python subs with try

def process_d(tname,q):    while exitflg==0:
        dx=ser.readline()
        try :
            rt='s'
            
            ff= string.rstrip(dx)   
            int(ff,16)   ##non hex chr will cause ValueError
            if dx[0]=='A':
                 rt='w'
            
            #print dx
            ts=str(datetime.datetime.now())[:19]
            r_x=[ts,dx,rt]
            queueLock.acquire()
            q.put(r_x)
            queueLock.release()
        except ValueError:
                #print dx
                dx=[]


def bag_reading ():
    global readings
    bag_data_time =datetime.datetime.now()
    if len(readings)>0:
         
       try:
           conn=sqlite3.connect('/media/CORSAIR/wh2.db') 
           curs=conn.cursor()
           curs.executemany("INSERT INTO log values((?),(?),(?),(?))", (readings))
           # commit the changes
           conn.commit()
           conn.close()
           print 'write ',len(readings),'  ',readings[-1][0]
           readings=[]
           bag_data_time += datetime.timedelta(minutes=5)
       except sqlite3.OperationalError as err :
           print 'db busy',err
           bag_data_time += datetime.timedelta(minutes=1)  
    return   bag_data_time
