It's not same, but it's same, look:
for( ... ) {
while( ... ) {
if(cond) goto exit;
}
}
exit:
is equivalent with:
exit:
for( ... ) {
while( ... ) {
if(cond) break exit;
}
}
or
for( ... ) {
while( ... ) {
if(cond) break 2;
}
}
goto <label>:
- we can jump into another loop, not so good
break/continue <label>
- little confusing syntax: break terminate executing labeled statement
and transfer control to the next statement.
I don't need 'goto' but I prefer to extend break/continue. Always if
possible to set a flag in loop and use it to escape... :)
goto can help, but mostly create unreadable code...
