After about 30 years of C, there are only three things
I would have
liked to see:
1. Computed goto
Can't you make a switch statement do what you need there?
The two things I really missed were:
- BCPL's ValOf/ResultIs, for making more complex macros (although with the
latest modern compilers, which inline small functions, this is less
of an issue)
- The ability to 'break' out of more than one level of nesting; one either
has to stand on one's head (code-wise), or use a goto
