Trying to rename the goto label 'err' via the refactor menu.
if (p)
goto err; /*1*/
if (q)
goto err; /*2*/
err: /*3*/
If the mouse was on the occurrence of 'err' at /*1*/ or /*2*/, then both of those occurrences change to the new name; /*3*/ should change but does not.
If the mouse was on the occurrence of 'err' at /*3*/, then only /*3*/ changes; /*1*/ and /*2*/ should change but do not.
(VS2005 C++) |

might one suggest not using goto?
pasting this code sample into VS2005, using VA 1530, rename on any of the three instances of "err" lists all three instances in the rename window. do you see the error with this actual sample?
if you are using "err" in different context's then VA may well not be searching far enough across the file, thinking that err is a local variable instead of a label name. |

feline, there are definitely situations where gotos make sense and code even more readable.
Speaking of labels, did someone try refactoring on inline asm?:)

i really like to avoid goto's in my code, and i normally manage  still i agree there are times when you need something like this.
as for inline asm, i don't recall that on the feature matrix, so i shall claim it is not officially supported  |

Ok, here's a complete example. The problem occurs with a goto out of a switch.
int f(int i)
{
int j;
switch (i)
{
case 1:
j = 88;
goto zyxxy;
case 2:
j = 99;
break;
case 3:
j = 77;
goto zyxxy;
default:
return 0;
}
return j;
zyxxy:
return i*j;
}
Your advice on coding style is well taken. Perhaps you can help me polish up this million or so lines of legacy code? Thanks! |

*ouch* there is a lot of difference between inheriting a lot of goto's in code, and adding new ones.
you have my sympathies if your code base is like this example! i made the foolish assumption that you would not have inherited many, since most people try to avoid them.
i am seeing the same problem with rename as you. at a guess VA thinks it has two different local variables, at different scope's, and is reacting accordingly.
case=1909
for now, can you use the IDE's find and replace to rename the labels? |
