Really I hate this change. It is wrong. Well I could go further than that. I have no idea why C++ thinks one is OK and the other is not. Please show the EXACT WARNING FROM THE COMPILER. (Actually why aren't you showing us what the problems are ? ) I don't know if I want to change C++ or something else. Actually C++ is a problem in itself, but that's a personal opinion. If goto is the specific problem and the only thing we can change then we should eliminate goto.
