But this is what GCC does already as the example demonstrates: it accepts const void* as the type of exp in "goto *exp" in addition to plain void*. This is both with gcc and g++. The question is this intended behavior? If the answer is yes, then the documentation has a bug. If the answer is no, then this is a bug in GCC. The issue came up when compiling with the Intel compiler a code with computed code that used const void*. GCC was dealing with that code just fine but icc insisted that the type should be void*. I guess Intel folks just followed documentation when implemented the computed-goto in their compiler. Regards, Igor
