No, this isn't standard C. (It's an extension allowed by gcc, if you
don't use the -ansi -pedantic flags.) You need an explicit null
statement (";"):


                                            if (x==1)
                                                  {
                                                  exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
                        target: ; }
