Howdy everyone! Just curious over this since people seem to have wildly differing opinions on this topic, for some reason. Feel free to say your reasoning in the tags.

On a scale of 1 to 5, how often do you use goto when coding in C?

1 (Never)

4

5 (All the time)

I don't code in C but I want to see the results.

I'm going to write a steam abstraction for the 700th time, I think I'm going crazy :D

A recent paper for C2y has made it so that generic selection expressions can match on a type instead of an expression, and doing this will not perform lvalue conversions. This means that an array-length macro that performs typeċḣecking can replace the confusion it induces with nested generic selection expressions with an entirely new kind of confusion induced by nested typeofs.

#define A(...) for (int _a = (__VA_ARGS__), _0A #define _0A(...) _b = (__VA_ARGS__), _1A #define _1A(a, b) _c = 0; _c == 0; _c = !0) \ for (int a = _a; a <= _b; b a)

Do not look at the notes of this post or use any other external help. The above C code has had its identifiers stripped of meaning. Do you think you nevertheless understand what the above snippet of C code would be used for?

Yes, i'm confident that i know exactly what it does and would be able to use it.

I have an idea of what it does, but i'm not confident that i'm correct.

I can tell exactly what it does, but i wouldn't know how to use it.

I would probably be able to use it correctly, but i don't get how it works.

I can't understand what it does at all.

I'm not a C programmer.
