From this little snippet it is clear that you are not thinking about
structured programming.  The goto gains you nothing here.  This could
be:

  do 
    {
      b >>= 1; j = ;
    } 
  while (j==0 || j==i);
  i = j;


You may claim that your use of goto is obvious, but the structure is
easily lost, especially if the body of the loop has more than a couple
of statements.

Please try not to be so inflammatory.

No.  I am not brainwashed.  I approach the problem from a a different
background and point of view.  I use structured methods to make the
meaning of the code obvious.  If performance is a problem, I will
profile the code and tune what ever needs attention.  Before any time
is wasted make the source code tight and obscure, one must ensure that
the best available algorithm is being used.  This can be a much bigger
win than code tweaking.
