All I need is a bit of cooperation from gcc to generate a label pointing to the right instruction, and it will save me a heap of code. There is also another set of Linux patches which are trying to use labels in a similar way to mark tracepoints in the code, for later insertion of instrumentation, which will clearly not be reliable with gcc in its current state. > Read the documentation again. > I have, in detail, and it doesn't really preclude how I want to use these labels. I do not want to jump into the function from outside, or use goto on them at all. But that doesn't mean I don't have a use for them. > Actually it sounds like you would like to have more information for people > filing bug reports well this is not the correct way of doing it.

But I'd like you to consider this as a feature request for gcc, because from my perspective gcc doing what I want is far better than the alternatives. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29305
