Code examples

The following code example fails the check and will give a warning:

void f1 ( )
{
  int j = 0;
  goto L1;
  for (;;)
  {
L1: // Non-compliant
    j;
  }
}

The following code example passes the check and will not give a warning about this issue:

void f2()
{
  for(;;)
  {
    for(;;)
    {
      goto L1;
    }
  }
L1:
  return;
}
