The effect of a goto statement in C++ on the stack

Question

When executing a goto statement in C++, are the two arrays in the code fragment below removed from the stack? Or will they be removed from the stack when the method returns?

retrySplit:
    ...
    uint32_t primsAbove[primitives.size()];
    uint32_t primsBelow[primitives.size()];
    ...
    goto retrySplit;

This question is not related to leaks resulting from using a goto statement, but concerned with the possibility of whether you can blow up your stack.

Answer 1

This program:

#include <iostream>

class X {
public:
 X() { std::cout << "ctor" << std::endl; }
 ~X() { std::cout << "dtor" << std::endl; }
};

int main(int argc, char** argv) {
 int i = 0;

label:
 X a;

 if (i == 0) {
  i = 1;
  goto label;
 }

 return 0;
}

Produces this output:

$ ./a.out 
ctor
dtor
ctor
dtor
