Generally considered bad coding style x y goto L9 x Skipped when x y 15 213 S 03 Do While Loop Example C Code int fact do int x int result 1 do result x x x 1 while x 1 return result 10 Goto Version int fact goto int x int result 1 loop result x x x 1 if x 1 goto loop return result Use backward branch to continue looping Only take branch when while condition holds 15 213 S 03 Do While Loop Compilation Goto Version int fact goto int x int result 1 loop result x x x 1 if x 1 goto loop return result Registers edx x eax result 11 Assembly fact goto pushl ebp movl esp ebp movl 1 eax movl 8

Goto Version C Code do loop Body if Test goto loop Body while Test Body can be any C statement Typically compound statement Statement1 Statement2 Statementn Test is expression returning integer 0 interpreted as false 12 0 interpreted as true 15 213 S 03 While Loop Example 1 First Goto Version C Code int fact while int x int result 1 while x 1 result x x x 1 return result 13 int fact while goto int x int result 1 loop if x 1 goto done result x x x 1 goto loop done return result Is this code equivalent to the do while version Must jump out of loop if test fails 15 213 S 03 Actual While Loop Translation C Code int fact while int x int result 1 while x 1 result x x x 1 return result 14 Uses same inner loop as do while version Guards loop entry with extra test Second Goto Version int fact while goto2 int x int result 1 if x 1 goto done loop result x x x 1 if x 1 goto loop done return result 15 213 S 03 General While Translation C Code while Test Body 15 Do While Version Goto Version if
