8 Statements [stmt.stmt]

8.2 Label [stmt.label]

#
A label can be added to a statement or used anywhere in a compound-statement.
The optional attribute-specifier-seq appertains to the label.
The only use of a label with an identifier is as the target of a goto.
No two labels in a function shall have the same identifier.
A label can be used in a goto statement before its introduction.

Case labels and default labels shall occur only in switch statements.

A control-flow-limited statement is a statement S for which:
  • (3.1)
    a case or default label appearing within S shall be associated with a switch statement ([stmt.switch]) within S, and
  • (3.2)
    a label declared in S shall only be referred to by a statement ([stmt.goto]) in S.
