The
continue
statement shall occur only in an
iteration-statement
and causes control to pass to the loop-continuation portion of the
smallest enclosing
iteration-statement, that is, to the end
of the loop
.More precisely, in each of the statements
while (foo) {
{
}
contin: ;
}
do {
{
}
contin: ;
} while (foo);
for (;;) {
{
}
contin: ;
}
a
continue not contained in an enclosed iteration statement is
equivalent to
goto contin.
