Variable declaration after goto Label

Question

Today I found one interesting thing. I didn\'t know that one can\'t declare a variable after a goto label.

Compiling the following code

#include <         


        

Answer 1

If you know why you can't create variables inside case statement of switch, basically its the same reason why you cant do this too. As a fix, you can try this,

#include 
int main() {
    int x = 5;
    goto JUMP;
    printf("x is : %d\n",x);
JUMP:
    {                                              //Note this
       int a = 0;  // <=== no more error..
       printf("%d",a);
    }                                             //Note this
}
