Labeled Statements
Labeled statements are those preceded by a label.
Syntax
labeled-statement ::=
identifier : statement
case constant-expression : statement
default: statement
Description
You can prefix any statement using a label so at some point you can
reference it using goto statements. This includes statements already
having labels. In other words, any statement can have one or more labels
affixed to it.
The case and default labels can only be used inside a switch statement.
These are discussed in further detail in the section on the switch
statement appearing later in this chapter.
Example
if (fatal_error)
goto get_out;
.
.
.
get_out: return(FATAL_CONDITION);
