+Jumping into a statement expression with @code{goto} or using a
+@code{switch} statement outside the statement expression with a
+@code{case} or @code{default} label inside the statement expression is
+not permitted. Jumping into a statement expression with a computed
+@code{goto} (@pxref{Labels as Values}) yields undefined behavior.
+Jumping out of a statement expression is permitted, but if the
+statement expression is part of a larger expression then it is
+unspecified which other subexpressions of that expression have been
+evaluated except where the language definition requires certain
+subexpressions to be evaluated before or after the statement
+expression. In any case, as with a function call the evaluation of a
+statement expression is not interleaved with the evaluation of other
+parts of the containing expression. For example,

-@section Minimum and Maximum Operators in C++
-
-It is very convenient to have operators which return the ``minimum'' or the
-``maximum'' of two arguments. In GNU C++ (but not in GNU C),
-
-@table @code
-@item @var{a} <? @var{b}
-@findex <?
-@cindex minimum operator
-is the @dfn{minimum}, returning the smaller of the numeric values
-@var{a} and @var{b};
-
-@item @var{a} >? @var{b}
-@findex >?
-@cindex maximum operator
-is the @dfn{maximum}, returning the larger of the numeric values @var{a}
-and @var{b}.
-@end table
-
-These operations are not primitive in ordinary C++, since you can
-use a macro to return the minimum of two things in C++, as in the
-following example.
-
-@smallexample
-#define MIN(X,Y) ((X) < (Y) ? : (X) : (Y))
-@end smallexample
-
-@noindent
-You might then use @w{@samp{int min = MIN (i, j);}} to set @var{min} to
-the minimum value of variables @var{i} and @var{j}.
-
-However, side effects in @code{X} or @code{Y} may cause unintended
-behavior. For example, @code{MIN (i++, j++)} will fail, incrementing
-the smaller counter twice. The GNU C @code{typeof} extension allows you
-to write safe macros that avoid this kind of problem (@pxref{Typeof}).
-However, writing @code{MIN} and @code{MAX} as macros also forces you to
-use function-call notation for a fundamental arithmetic operation.
-Using GNU C++ extensions, you can write @w{@samp{int min = i <? j;}}
-instead.
-
-Since @code{<?} and @code{>?} are built into the compiler, they properly
-handle expressions with side-effects; @w{@samp{int min = i++ <? j++;}}
-works correctly.
