6.6.4/1 implies that a goto statement is ill-formed if the
identifier is not a label declared in the current function.

I think simple logic requires goto to have no action in this
case. If I wanted to stop compilation I would write int long;
or #error (if I wanted to stop preprocessing).

Can anybody elucidate this case for me   ?
