break

[Colin JN Breame]

Is there an equivalent C++ construct to Java's:

outer:
while (true) {
while (cond1) {
if (cond2) {
break outer;
}
}
}

Thanks

Well, there's goto:

while (1) {
while (cond1) {
if (cond2) {
goto AFTER_LOOP;
}
}
}
AFTER_LOOP:
// Goto takes us here.

Of course, one should be careful about using goto. See the FAQ:

Some would say the case against goto applies equally to break (except in
switch blocks) and continue.

Whoops, sorry, I thought I was posting in comp.lang.c. The C++ FAQ is here:

It doesn't say much about goto. But in this case, what the comp.lang.c FAQ
says applies just as well to C++ as it does to C.

Thanks for your help; I thought it might be something like that.
