+ DefElem *duplicate_item = NULL;
+
  if (strcmp(defel->defname, "volatility") == 0)
  {
  if (is_procedure)
  goto procedure_error;
  if (*volatility_item)
- goto duplicate_error;
+ duplicate_item = defel;

In this function, we already have the "defel" variable then I do not
understand why you are using one extra variable and assigning defel to
that?
If the goal is to just improve the error message then you can simply
use defel->defname?
