## README

This repository contains an implementation of the [returnFrom](https://github.com/golang/go/issues/54361) proposal implemented by syntax rewriting.

### Usage

To try it out on a single file:

```sh
go run github.com/ConradIrwin/return-from example.go > example-rewritten.go
go run example-rewritten.go
```

If you want to try many examples, you can also clone the repo and use `rewrite-run.sh` which auto-runs the rewritten code:

```sh
git clone https://github.com/ConradIrwin/return-from
cd return-from
./rewrite-run.sh example.go
```

You can see a few examples in the ./examples folder.

### Limitations

This does not yet work well with generics, in particular:

- You cannot returnFrom(x) if you are inside a generic function named x.
- If you want to returnFrom(x) where x is a call to a generic function, you must specify the type parameter (this should not be the case).
- Not very well tested yet, please report bugs!
