    Transfer control: GoTo?

    Hello there,

    Could I implement goto to transfer control to another function in the class?

    example:

    Code:
    TInt CWrUAppUi::Tick(TAny* aObject)
    {
       goto repeat;
    }
    
    void CWrUAppUi::HandleSessionEventL(...)
    {
    ...
    ...
    repeat:
    ...
    ...
    }

    If not, what are my alternatives?


    Thx in advance,
    wirefree101

    At a guess I'd say you can't do that. have you tried it? There are probably some scope issues about it.

    Could do something like this:

    Code:
    class thing
    {
    private:
    	int num;
    
    public:
    	thing( int new_num )
    	{
    		std::cout<< "Starting Constructor ... \n";
    		initialise( new_num );
    		std::cout<< "Ending Constructor ... \n";
    	}
    
    	void initialise ( int new_num )
    	{
    		std::cout<< "Starting Initialiser ... \n";
    		num = new_num;
    		std::cout<< "Ending Initialiser ... \n";
    	}
    	
    };
    
    int main( void ) 
    {
    	thing whatever( 42 );
    
    	return 0;
    }
    Very ... basic example. You can use member functions within classes. Goto's are generally a bad idea. Only real use I've had for them would be for getting out of deep nesting in loops and such. Don't use them often at all.

    Place everything inside HandleSessionEventL after the repeat label into a new function. Then just call that function from HandleSessionEventL. When inside Tick, call the new function instead of the goto.

    That is just a general idea. Each specific case may have a very different solution.
