Hi, There are numerous places in the Linux Kernel where the C_Programming_Books_Most_Dreaded statement ('goto' of course) is used. For instance, take a look at kernel/fork.c:copy_mm(). Why is that ? I googled up reasons like minimizing return points, but is that it ? Thanks a lot, Roy. -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
