only works if m is allocated statically or on the stack, not if allocated in the heap.

edit: the statement above is misleading. It is referring to the use of sizeof() to set up the loops, and has nothing to do with using goto to break the loop. Using goto to break the loop will work as written, regardless of how the variables are allocated.
