any reason to not allow this?
foo: {
// bail out of this scope
if(i==0) break foo;
writef("i!=0\n");
(i<0)?1++:i--;
// same effect as continue so no need for that
goto foo;
}
Yes its a bit contrived, but the idea could make some more complicated
code (auto or hand generated) a bit cleaner. I have a few times put
something in a function just so that a return could be used to leave the
scope.
