if ($_ !~ /^[\(\[\{]/ && $_ =~ /^(\S+)/) {
    print "@@ -a,b +c,d @@ $1\n"
}

So
label:
will be the 'mark[er]' for the @@ line

Just try yourself:
<<< foo.c <<<
int main(void)
{
        x
        y
        z
label:
        a
        b
        c
        d
        e
        f
}
>>>
<<< foo2.c <<<
int main(void)
{
        x
        y
        z
label:
        a
        b
        c
        d
        d+
        e
        f
}
>>>
<<< diff -dpru foo.c foo2.c <<<
--- foo.c       2007-05-30 10:33:45.714222656 +0200
