does anyone know why `label: int decl;` is not valid C99?
Show this thread
I think it's because "int decl" is not a "statement" but a "declaration". "label:; int decl;" should work.

right, this is "how", i know that; i'd like to know "why" it's like that
-
is it just carried over from c89 after c99 allowed mixing declarations and code because no one cared enough for labels?

huh. How does foo: {int baz;} work then? The block operator { certainly isn't a statement in C?

It is. It's called "compound-statement" in the reference C99 syntax.pic.twitter.com/gDIVgJ7Ymn
