538 :: usage of continue within block

• sanjay (orginal) [2014-08-31T12:48:59+02:00] view original

  I want to understand the usage of continue.

  As per the manual the continue should be used within a loop which means either in while or for statements. When I try to compile the following code, it compiles successfully (I thought it will throw compile error saying that illegal continue usage with block b1)

  block b1:
    while true:
      continue b1
      echo("do not print")
  Run

  Is there any meaning to using continue with block statement?

  Report it as a bug please. My guess is that the compiler simply ignores the continue's label instead of reporting it as an error.
