I was wondering how I can port the following code to BiteScript since
the label statement has to appear before I can use it in BiteScript:
28: if_icmpge 44
31: getstatic #8; //Field
java/lang/System.out:Ljava/io/PrintStream;
34: aload_2
35: invokevirtual #9; //Method
java/io/PrintStream.println:(Ljava/lang/String;)V
38: iinc 3, 1
41: goto 25
44: return
The following gives an error in BiteScript:
ldc "Hello World"
astore 1
new java.lang.StringBuilder
dup
goto :top
invokespecial java.lang.StringBuilder, "<init>", [void]
aload 1
invokevirtual java.lang.StringBuilder, "append",
[java.lang.StringBuilder, string]
ldc " again"
invokevirtual java.lang.StringBuilder, “append”,
[java.lang.StringBuilder, string]
invokevirtual java.lang.StringBuilder, “toString”, [string]
astore 2
push_int 9
istore 3
label :top
getstatic System, “out”, java.io.PrintStream
=> /jruby/1.8/gems/bitescript-0.0.5/lib/bitescript/bytecode.rb:361:in
`sym_to_label’: Unknown label ‘finish’ (RuntimeError)

This looks like something we could add to bitescript (and I’m
surprised I hadn’t done it already). If a label is referenced before
being defined by “label”, define it anyway, and then use that label
for the eventual “label” call later.
I’ve added it and tests in 99e7ec0. If you’re comfortable running from
master, it’s there, and maybe there’s other things we could finish up
to push a 0.0.6 release out.
If you don’t want to use master, the traditional way would be to
pre-allocate the label:
lbl = label
goto lbl
…
lbl.set!
The change I committed makes this almost totally unnecessary, I suppose.
goto :some_label
…
label :some_label
