There are a few decent examples given by the Linus kernel devs on a LKML thread where an unfortunate soul wandered in and suggested that they refactor to get rid of GOTOs: https://lkml.org/lkml/2003/1/12/126 https://lkml.org/lkml/2003/1/12/126 > "I will prefer to hide one or more of the inner loops inside of a function call."
