note moritz <p>Thanks [tye], your reply did clear up a few things.</p> <p>I had two problems with my mental model. I didn't remember that that <c>if (0) { }</c> gets optimized away. I also wrongly assumed that each block produces a stack frame. <blockquote>As for there being a new warning for "if(1){X:...} goto X:", I lack the details for why this got deprecated.</blockquote> <p>I didn't find many details either, just that without it, the implementation of lexpads would be much simpler and saner.</p> <p>Now I must go back and study the crufty error handling code I inherited, and see if it can be rescued (or if I can safely argue that it must be rewritten to use something saner).</p> <!-- Node text goes above.
