With the original example, this rewrite would be valid in C where 'A;'
contained mutex locking and 'D;' contained mutex unlocking code.
However, in C++ where the lock would be presumable implemented as an
RAII class, the recursive call would not work any more. The mutex might
not support recursive locking, and even if it does, the recursive call
would call first part of A ('flush_workqueue(wq);') under the mutex
lock, which would be all wrong I suspect.
So, is this a case where using a 'goto' would be in some sense more
justified in C++ than in C?
BTW, in my own code I have several times encountered similar awkward
"backward goto" scenarios needed only for unlocking a mutex. And the
result has always been a mess I'm afraid.
