goto

[Samee Zahur]

right...sorry I mixed it up. "break 2" would need a goto beyond the end
of loops, while "continue 2" would need goto just before the end of
loops. Thanks for the correction. But no one still seems to be telling
me anything about the scope of these labels... do I get to use the same
name in different functions?

Same goto label in different functions is definitey ok.
As you cannot goto inside a block from outside, same labels in
different blocks could be ok, but I don't know what the
standard says.

You can goto inside a block from outside, as long as you don't
cross any initializations. You can't goto across functions.
