Feature #5893: named return,next...

• Status: Rejected
• Assignee: -
• Target version: 2.0.0

[neleai (Ondrej Bilka)]

Hello. As returning from various blocks is recurring theme at list I propose following.

You can assign label to each block. You can exit given block by referring to its label.
Syntax can be ::label to avoid ambiguity(But prettier syntax would be desirable).

return,next,break,redo would work as they do now.

Here is example

while::loop true
10.times{|i|::outer
10.times{|j|::inter
next::outer if i>6
return::inner 42 if j>4
puts i,j
}
}::outer #For readability we could optionaly add label at end of block.
break::loop
end

Doesn't throw/catch to that already?

No unless you are happy with passing result by global variable.

Have you ever tried? throw can pass the result to catch.

I did not know this one. In code I have seen it is typically
something like this.

def return_it(foo)
$foo=foo
throw(:my_constant)
end

$foo=nil
t=try(:my_constant){
yield
}
t=$foo if $foo

In my opinion, Sinatra is a very good example here. Look for
throw/catch in lib/sinatra/base.rb.
