Well, I finally put it to the test with this C++ program.

#include <iostream>

void test(void)
{
    another_function:
    std::cout << "Hello, World!\n";
    
}

int main(int argc, const char * argv[])
{
    goto another_function;
    return 0;
}

It does not compile, so I guess you can't do it.  

Doesn't work in C either.

Sounds like the urban legend I heard was probably hyperbole or hogwash.
