Why do not use GOTO inside a Select Statement?

[useful]

Just a similar example.
This was discussed on the forum not too long ago. ( https://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewto ... 83#p586083 )

Code: Select all

Structure ArrayOfPointer
  *Index[0]
EndStructure

Procedure test(index)
  Protected *addr.ArrayOfPointer = ?jt 
  Protected result, *a
  
  DataSection : jt:
    Data.i ?l0 , ?l1 , ?l2 , ?l3 , ?l4
  EndDataSection 
  
  If (index < 5 ) And (index >= 0)
    
    CompilerIf #PB_Compiler_Backend = #PB_Backend_C  
      !goto *(void*)p_addr->f_index[v_index];
    CompilerElse 
      EnableASM  
      jmp *addr\Index[index]
      DisableASM 
    CompilerEndIf 
    
  Else 
    Goto le 
  EndIf  
  
  
  l0: 
  result =  0
  Goto lE 
  l1: 
  result = -1  
  Goto lE
  l2:
  result = -2  
  Goto lE 
  l3:
  result = -3 
  Goto lE 
  l4:
  result = -4  
  lE:
  
  ProcedureReturn result 
EndProcedure    


Debug test(3)

p.s. Let's simplify the compiler's life and create the transition table ourselves.
The compiler converts Select into approximately the same code
