Everything about COMEFROM
Programming language control flow statement; opposite of goto
In computer programming, COMEFROM is a control flow statement that causes control flow to jump to the statement after it when control reaches the point specified by the COMEFROM argument. The statement is intended to be the opposite of goto and is considered to be more a joke than serious computer science. Often the specified jump point is identified as a label. For example, COMEFROM x specifies that when control reaches the label x, then control continues at the statement after the COMEFROM. Wikipedia →
