Build Identifier: 20100218-1602

GCC allows you to get the address of a label using the && operator.

Example Code
--------------
somelabel:
	void* ptr;
	ptr = &&somelabel;
--------------

Eclipse underlines the line containing && in yellow and claims it's a syntax error, though the code compiles fine.

More information can be found here: http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Labels-as-Values.html

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a C/C++ project and source file
2.Use a label
3.Attempt to get the address of the label
