As far as I can discern, C doesn't provide such a feature. So the answer is
"none, as far as C is concerned". If your implementation provides such a
feature as an extension, consult its documentation to find out why.

As a rule, "What's the use of..." questions are pretty pointless. If you
can't think of a use for something, don't use it.
