The original idea I posted is less about sending a signal to another
processor.
It is more about how to break out of an instruction sequence.
Example of problem:
Main:
while Condition1 do
begin
while Condition2 do
begin
while Condition3 do
begin
Routine1
end
end;
end;
Routine1:
while Condition4 do
begin
while Condition5 do
begin
Routine2:
end;
end;
Routine2:
while Condition6 do
begin
while Condition7 do
begin
end;
end;
Breaking out of these kinds of loops, routines, code currently requires
something like:
Current cumbersome solution for problem:
Main:
while Condition1 and not Terminated do
begin
while Condition2 and not Terminated do
begin
while Condition3 and not Terminated do
begin
Routine1
end
end;
end;
Routine1:
while Condition4 and not Terminated do
begin
while Condition5 and not Terminated do
begin
Routine2:
end;
end;
Routine2:
while Condition6 and not Terminated do
begin
while Condition7 and not Terminated do
begin
end;
end;
It can take a long while before all this code exits, plus the Terminated
boolean is probably placed on wrong side.
It should be on the left side in case the Conditions are actual functions
otherwise those would unnecessarily be executed as well.
Having something that can immediatly exit all of this code would be a nice
feature to have.
Perhaps something like an exception block, perhaps it could be called a
termination block.
Routine1:
Result = False
Execute
while True do
begin
end;
Result = True
Termination
OnTerminate:
begin
end;
end;
return Result
Preferrably , optionally this can be omitted/left out.
Bye,
Skybuck.
