I see.

if (strcmp(defel->defname, "volatility") == 0)
{
if (is_procedure)
- goto procedure_error;
+ is_procedure_error = true;
if (*volatility_item)
- goto duplicate_error;
+ is_duplicate_error = true;
Another side effect I see is, in the above check earlier if
is_procedure was true it was directly goto procedure_error, but now it
will also check the if (*volatility_item) and it may set
is_duplicate_error also true, which seems wrong to me. I think you
can change it to
if (is_procedure)
is_procedure_error = true;
else if (*volatility_item)
is_duplicate_error = true;
