------- Comment #2 from jakub at gcc dot gnu dot org 2009-01-04 23:38 -------
The C FE converts this to void * pointer silently:
7168 tree
7169 c_finish_goto_ptr (tree expr)
7170 {
7171 pedwarn (input_location, OPT_pedantic, "ISO C forbids %<goto *expr;%>");
7172 expr = convert (ptr_type_node, expr);
7173 return add_stmt (build1 (GOTO_EXPR, void_type_node, expr));
7174 }
but the C++ FE doesn't. Either C++ should do the same as C, or both should
reject it.
