First a question: Why are you attempting to build a long thread? ;-)
It's been awhile... =)
As I told Robin:
Remember bad use of a Goto does not make the Goto bad!
Too many developers think Goto is Bad! as they have seen bad uses of Goto
too often...
The second link is interesting, I don't see what you are trying to say
with the first (other then who wrote the second).
Just a thought

Hi Jay, First a question: Why are you attempting to build a long thread? ;-)
Because I always know this hits me, I have seen so often bad programs which
with thinking how to provide the "goto" became suddenly much better (not a
religion, a trick to make better programs).
Remember bad use of a Goto does not make the Goto bad!
The Goto has after somewhere 1970 always been for me a bad command (In the
begin it was nothing more than a branch unconditional)
Too many developers think Goto is Bad! as they have seen bad uses of Goto
too often...
In my idea still Goto's in scripting languages, it is for not good
programmers more easy to understand I think.
The second link is interesting, I don't see what you are trying to say
with the first (other then who wrote the second).
The first was to show who wrote it, not a simple Dutchman, which you may
think when you see the second link.
:-)

Herfried, Dijkstra formulared the "Dining Philosophers' Problem", didn't he ;-).
I like the "Dining Philosophers' Problem", I have a VB.NET implementation I
wrote someplace...
I believe you are correct, I don't have my reference handy...

I am automating Access reports to PDF using PDF Writer 6.0. I've

Hi,
In vb6, if I had an error handler I could catch an error,
make a correction and then try it again using resume. I
want to do the same thing in vb.net.
I am trying to deal with some concurrency issues. I want
to be able to catch a error, wait a few milliseconds and
then try it again. Any help on this would be great.
Thanks ... Ed

How do you make a loop iterate early without using a GoTo? (I guess
I've done too much structured programming and I really don't like
using GoTos.)

I've been delving into finite state machines and at this time it seems that
the best way to implement them is through an intense use of the goto
statement. Yet, everyone plus their granmother is constantly cursing at the
goto statement, accusing it of being some sort of spawn of satan. So it
seems we have a pickle here.
The thing is, at first thought it seems that there aren't any viable
alternatives which are better suited for this...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
