Is it possible to store the address of a label in a variable and use goto to jump to it?

Question

I know everyone hates gotos. In my code, for reasons I have considered and am comfortable with, they provide an effective solution (ie I\'m not looking for \"don\'t do that\

Answer 1

You can do something like Fortran's computer goto with pointers to functions.

// global variables up here

void c1(){ // chunk of code

}

void c2(){ // chunk of code

}

void c3(){
// chunk of code

}

void (*goTo[3])(void) = {c1, c2, c3};

// then
int x = 0;

goTo[x++] ();

goTo[x++] ();

goTo[x++] ();
