How to jump the program execution to a specific address in C?

Question

I want the program to jump to a specific address in memory and continue execution from that address. I thought about using goto but I don\'t have a label rather

Answer 1

Do you have control of the code at the address that you intend to jump to? Is this C or C++?

I hesitantly suggest setjmp() / longjmp() if you're using C and can run setjmp() where you need to jump back to. That being said, you've got to be VERY careful with these.

As for C++, see the following discussion about longjmp() shortcutting exception handling and destructors destructors. This would make me even more hesitant to suggest it's use in C++.
