Macro logic

Are there any plans to implement goto statements in macro logic? Coming from 22 years on industrial controllers, wiring some pretty intense logic, I feel completely lost without what I feel is a necessary function.

If not, what the heck does everyone do to jump around in a sub program? I use jumps to bounce through conditionals constantly

If [#1ne4.]goto10

Fanuc style macro b would be a welcomed addition to this already great software

with 22 years experience in use of cnc programming using "Fanuc Custom Macro B" it shouldn't be too difficult for you to find a simple and clean workaround using the options available in LinuxCNC

Real helpful answer...

Still doesn't answer my original question of if there was a plan to implement goto

The gcode used in linuxcnc follows the RS274ngc standard. See tsapps.nist.gov/publication/get_pdf.cfm?pub_id=823374
If its not in the standard there will never be a plan to add it.

GOTO is a dirty word in any programming language. I have not used in for 41 years in any programming I've done. GCODE has adequate flow control commands to not require it either.

G code is a dirty language. I try to avoid Goto as much as possible - the 700 series Mitsubishi and fanuc 30i series controls finally added THEN to reduce the amount of goto being used, but sometimes you just need to use it. Siemens sees such a use for it they actually have 3 ways to use it - goto, gotof and gotob. Pick apart a renishaw, marposs, blum or hexagon macro - goto everywhere. I write incredibly in depth probing macros, I don't just use g code. I'm simply asking if there's a snowball throws chance in hell that Linuxcnc will start to adopt goto at some point, considering they are now using m98/m99, so someone sees the benefit of following fanuc practices

There's got to be a team of core developers running the show or else the whole project would shit the bed from too many fingers in the soup
