If goto is so evil then why does the linux kernel have 13k of em?

Shit kernel has shit code, wow.

how else would I go to another location in the code?

By finishing an instruction and moving to the next one.

You can use it in a bad and confusing way, and in a logical and structured way. Disallowing its usage because you are scared of people using it wrong is absolutely brainlet tier and is the symptom of a much bigger problem (You are working with idiots).
Jace Bailey
It's actually a really useful tool, just it can easily fuck things up.
Oliver Myers
then how do you explain high level languages with garbagers
Blake Phillips
And all that usage completely fucks up compiler optimizations for those chunks of code so you sacrificed that for being a smartass.
Ryan Ortiz
Gee I don't know OP. Maybe because Linux is clusterfuck of patches and shitty hacks thrown together with zero fucks given to design philosophy and quality control??

is there a well designed kernel out there?

Windows has even more gotos.

this is the best designed kernel there is, full proof
literally a superfood

Compilers only care about program logic. They don't care how you go about doing it. If you create something similar to a for loop using goto statements, it will be optimised the same. Anything that doesn't is a garbage compiler.

You could argue that it is a bit more productive to not have to worry about memory management. Especially if an issue occurs and you have to worry about memory management of code you didn't write. It is a trade off.

In fact, compilers are smart enough to "hoist"/duplicate code from the goto target and make an inline copy if they determine it would be better.

Anyone who disagrees with this has likely never shipped a product.

goto isn't bad, every loop is based on goto
but when you use goto instead of for or while you're gonna miss out on compile optimizations
t. know fuckall about compilers, don't even study CS

Plan 9 has a well designed monolithic kernel.
seL4 is a well designed microkernel.

They obviously reached their goal sooner than expected, but don't want people to know it yet.
Pretty clever.

A system with problematic kernel
Adrian White
that's not an argument to choose a completely different OS.
that's an argument to move from debian to devuan.

>memory managment
>not worrying about fucking up
the same reasoning applies to goto usage
