Well, it isn't failing in any obvious fashion. It's quietly putting the label
at the wrong place, without complaint. The same code later in a function does
put the labels at the right place, so the failure mode is moderately subtle.
If you don't intent to support my use-case, then gcc should warn/error-out
rather than be quietly wrong.
That said, I don't really understand why this can't be supported. In what way
is this "not the correct way to think about what I'm doing"? How else should I
achieve what I want?
I should mention that this is Linux kernel code, and there are a number of
places within the kernel where it would be useful to take the address of a
particular statement without needing to "goto" to it, but have the code
generated as if there is a goto (ie, merely taking the address of a label
should be taken to be equivalent to actually having a goto to that label).
