Question

How do you name your GoTo labels? I use rarely often so I’m having a hard time finding good names.

Please refrain from the classical ‘goto is evil and eat your code alive discussion’

Answer 1

My label names almost always fall into one of these patterns:

• Called ‘restart’, for restarting a set of nested loops because a change has invalidated something
• Called ‘exit’ or ‘return’, right before the return statement, and is only there because of a trace statement that logs the return value for debugging
• Has the same name as the boolean variable that it replaces
