It was thus said that the Great Jim Battle once stated:

I'd skip both the GOTO and the conditional and do it:

assert(n > 0);
for (i = 0 , sep = "" ; i < n ; aryp++ , i++)
{
printf("%s%u",sep,&aryp);
sep = ",";
}
putchar('\n');
}

The other one I use it for is jumping past the
top of a loop the first
time only (this code probably doesn't work but you get the idea...):
void print_ary (int *aryp, int n)
{
goto skip_comma;
for (;n;aryp++, n--)
{
printf (", ");
skip_comma:
printf ("%u", *aryp);
}
printf ("\n");
}
I'd do this, and didn't even know that jumping into the middle of the
FOR loop was legal. Even knowing it is legal, I prefer my way (of course):
void print_ary (int *aryp, int n)
{
int i;
for (i=0; i<n; aryp++, i++)
{
if (i>0)
printf (", ");
printf ("%u", *aryp);
}
printf ("\n");
}
