Back in the mid 80s I rediscovered a form of Bresenham on PDP-11 assembler that used integer overflow to avoid branches. I've forgotten the details, but I remember that it was integer only, and used an accumulator word which, on overflow, became a small number (somehow triggering a change in the dependent coordinate). Damn I wish I could remember the details. One of these days I'll dig up the assembler specs and re-derive it.

Or maybe I'll discover I was using a branch after all!

The whole point of Bresenham is choosing between two integer values to minimize the accumulated error. You can totally implement any conditional computation without explicit conditional branch instructions e.g. using jump tables, conditional moves or predication etc. But the nature of your algorithm will remain conditional and a modern CPU still won't be able to process it as fast as a naive implementation.
