Thevalue has type <code>void *</code>. This value is a constant and can be usedwherever a constant of that type is valid. For example:<pre class="smallexample"> void *ptr; /* <small class="dots">...</small> */ ptr = &&foo; </pre> <p>To use these values, you need to be able to jump to one. This is donewith the computed goto statement<a rel="footnote" href="#fn-1"><sup>1</sup></a>, <code>goto *</code><var>exp</var><code>;</code>. For example,<pre class="smallexample"> goto *ptr; </pre><p>Any expression of type <code>void *</code> is allowed. <p>One way of using these constants is in initializing a static array thatwill serve as a jump table:<pre class="smallexample"> static void *array[] = { &&foo, &&bar, &&hack }; </pre> <p>Then you can select a label with indexing, like this:<pre class="smallexample"> goto *array[i]; </pre><p>Note that this does not check whether the subscript is in bounds--arrayindexing in C never does that. <p>Such an array of label values serves a purpose much like that of the<code>switch</code> statement. The <code>switch</code> statement is cleaner, souse that rather than an array unless the problem does not fit a<code>switch</code> statement very well. <p>Another use of label values is in an interpreter for threaded code. The labels within the interpreter function can be stored in thethreaded code for super-fast dispatching. <p>You may not use this mechanism to jump to code in a different function. If you do that, totally unpredictable things will happen. The best way toavoid this is to store the label address only in automatic variables andnever pass it as an argument. <p>An alternate way to write the above example is<pre class="smallexample"> static const int array[] = { &&foo - &&foo, &&bar - &&foo, &&hack - &&foo }; goto *(&&foo + array[i]); </pre><p>This is more friendly to code living in shared libraries, as it reducesthe number of dynamic relocations that are needed, and by consequence,allows the data to be read-only. <div class="footnote"><hr><h4>Footnotes</h4><ol type="1"><li><a name="fn-1"></a><p>The analogous feature inFortran is called an assigned goto, but that name seems inappropriate inC, where one can do more than simply store label addresses in labelvariables.</p> </ol><hr></div> </body></html>
