You think that, just because nobody wants to refactor your 1300-line hellishly-nested file with way-too-long functions, you win the argument?

Hardly. Reread Cyberax's replies with an open mind this time. He's right: carefully applied gotos would take care of your "do /* once */ {} while(false)" nesting and ambiguous breaks. If you want to make your code more readable, this would be a great first step. After that, you could give it a good scrubbing with https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/CodingStyle

But, from your aggressive writing style, it sounds like you'd rather argue.

Yes.

I took the trouble to write all that code which proves my point. If you want to prove yours, you have to do the same.
