C++ labeled break?

bool state = true;while ( state != false )     {        while ( true )            if ( blah... )              {               state = false;               break;              }      }

Original post by CuppoJava hi, i'm just wondering if there is an equivalent for this common Java command in C++. How to I break out of an outer level loop? eg. in java: OuterLoop:while(true){ //random code while(true) { //random code if(something) break OuterLoop; }}

while(true){  //random code  while(true)  {    //random code    if(something){      break;    }    break;  }}

for (int i=0; i<n; ++i){    //Do some stuff    for (int j=0; j<m; ++j)    {        //Do more stuff        if(something)        {            i = n;            break;        }    }}

Original post by EasilyConfused I hardly see that the fact that this is not what they are "supposed" to be used for should push anyone towards thinking that goto was a "better" solution. I have quite frequently used exceptions to represent normal termination conditions in code that otherwise would be far more complex, inextensible and hard to maintain otherwise.

bool inner_loop(){    while( some_expression_two )    {        // Random code        if( some_expression_three )        {            return false;        }    }    return true;}void start_loop(){    while( some_expression && inner_loop() )    {        // Random code    }}

Original post by Spoonbender Or just refactor it a bit. Put the inner loop into a separate function, and let it return true/false/whatever you like when the outer loop should break.

Exceptions are a tool like anything else and if local code is easier to understand and maintain and has less risk of resource leak by using them, I hardly see that the fact that this is not what they are "supposed" to be used for should push anyone towards thinking that goto was a "better" solution.
