C/C++: goto into the for loop

Question

I have a bit unusual situation - I want to use goto statement to jump into the loop, not to jump out from it.

There are strong reasons to do so - this c

Answer 1

The initialisation part of the for loop will not occur, which makes it somewhat redundant. You need to initialise i before the goto.

int i = 0 ;
if( not_a_first_call )
    goto request_handler;
for( ; i

However, this is really not a good idea!

The code is flawed in any case, the return statment circumvents the loop. As it stands it is equivalent to:

int i = 0 ;

if( not_a_first_call )
    \\...process_data...

i++ ;
if( i < n )
{
    *data_to_request = i;
}

In the end, if you think you need to do this then your design is flawed, and from the fragment posted your logic also.
