[comp.lang.c++] labels in blocks with destructors

dld@f.gp.cs.cmu.edu (David Detlefs) (08/18/88)

I recently wrote some code in which I had to use a goto (albeit in a
fairly benign way.)  I got an error saying "sorry, not implemented
yet: label in block with destructors."  This was using (embarassingly
enough) version 1.1 of the AT&T translator.  Fair enough.  Would
anyone be able to tell me if some later version of the AT&T
translator, or the compiler, lifts this restriction to the extent
allowed in The Book?  Or tell me how non-C++ compilation systems fare
in this regard?

Thanks.
