How to GOSUB to an address?
« on: January 02, 2019, 11:22:38 PM »
Hello, Is there a way to do something like this?:

Code: [Select]
GOSUB @ThisLabel

RETURN 0

Thislabel:
  ' do so some stuff....
RETURN

It currently compiles but return just exits the function instead of returning to the GOSUB call. Same goes for regular GOSUB calls:

Code: [Select]
GOSUB ThisLabel

' Never gets here.

RETURN 0

Thislabel:
  ' do so some stuff....
RETURN

 This is how it is documented, but i was wondering whats the difference between GOTO and GOSUB? is there a way to return to the calling statement instead of exiting the module?

 (Im trying to avoid doing my own stack of calls as im doing now)

Hi Brian,

o2 gosubs are bare-metal Asm calls to a label, and should be terminated by ret instead of return.
