Will you notice that the object code size can be a bit smaller because the call of the function “pm_runtime_put” is specified at two places in the implementation in comparison to three places before? > Anyhow, are you seriously suggesting adding a goto to a label define > within a if block?

Another software design approach would be to move two statements from the affected if branch to the end of this function. Such an adjustment would have the consequence that the statement “goto unlock” will be transformed into a jump to a backward target. Would you prefer such an implementation variant instead?
