[New-bugs-announce] [issue44060] Define TARGET macro the same even when computed goto support is not enabled

[Skip Montanaro]

New submission from Skip Montanaro <skip.montanaro at gmail.com>:

When the interpreter is compiled with computed goto support, the TARGET macro is defined like this:

#define TARGET(op) op: TARGET_##op

If computed gotos are disabled, the implementation is simpler:

#define TARGET(op) op

I'm finding it useful to use those labels as gdb breakpoint targets. Is there some reason not to always define the TARGET_##op label?
