Hi there,
I finally got around to looking at reformatting my Python patch today.
One thing I had forgotten about is a single goto label in the main
Python expansion procedure.
This function has 5 possible points where it can exit, performing the
same set of tasks at each exit. The use of a single label tidies the
whole thing up quite a bit, and I'd like to avoid rewriting this
procedure, as it's only going to get messy if I try to remove the label.
I notice that in my Exim 4.32 tree there are 345 other gotos, suggesting
that Philip doesn't mind the use of goto (well, judiciously, at least).
Is this the case?
