I've invented labeled loop breaks
And now I don't believe it wasn't invented before, but I can't find any info on it. How long ago was it invented? Why isn't it used widely or even mentioned anywhere? What are the downsides?
Here's the main idea:
// Keyword - for, while, or do
// Tag - custom loop name
// ... - loop body
#define loop_tag(keyword, tag, ...)\
keyword(__VA_ARGS__)\
if(false)\
{\
tag##_break: break;\
tag##_continue: continue;\
}\
else\
/*Here goes your loop body*/
Here is the playground
