Goto is fine. You just need to know how and when to use it. My use of goto in new Squid C code I write is purely to unwind whatever stuff has been allocated/locked in the function before I exit. That way I end up with -one- exit location in the function and I don't have to bum around using extra functions or massively nested conditional constructs to achieve it. In fact, I've used goto in a few places to tidy up the code..
