Translate goto statements to if, switch, while, break, etc

Question

Is there a way to mechanically translate goto statements to if, switch, while, break, and continue statements, etc, or with function calls, objects, anything?

Answer 1

While it is not a good idea, it is possible using loops and swith-case. In the following example the goto variable decides what label (0, 1, 2 or default) to goto when you get to a continue.

int goTo=0;
while(true){
  switch(goTo){
  case 0:
    doSomething();
    goTo = 1;
    continue;
  case 1:
    doSomethingElse();
    goTo = 2;
    continue;
  case 2:
    doSOmethingDifferent();
    goTo = 0;
    continue;
  default:
    return;
  }
}
