Hi All, Question about disallowing `goto <label>` jumping over a variable declaration?
And please, before bikeshedding opinions about the use of `goto` pro or con — note that the Go standard library uses `goto` in some places — this question is purely for me to gain better understanding the choices made with the Go compiler. Question. Was it: 1. Somehow logically required by the compiler, and if so can you elaborate why? 2. A design decision made, and if so what what the rationale for the design decision? 3. A limitation place on GoLang for some other reason, and if so, what and why? I have prepared an example showing use of `goto` that compiles and one that does not at this playground URL: https://goplay.tools/snippet/tSAbWhmiCZK Hoping to hear from someone who actually knows why the decision was made as opposed to someone who might just be guessing at the reason. Thank you in advance. -Mike -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
