That is exactly my point.
Since "x" it's skipped and never used, it shouldn't just be a
warning (unreachable code) instead of an error?
I'm trying to understand why/when such code could give any
problem.
On the other hand if the code were:
{
goto Q:
int x;
Q:
x = 10; // <- Now you are accessing an uninitialized variable.
}
Then I think an error would be ok.
