Using continue in a switch statement

Question

I want to jump from the middle of a switch statement, to the loop statement in the following code:

while (something = get_something())
{
    swi         


        

Answer 1

While technically valid, all these jumps obscure control flow -- especially the continue statement.

I would use such a trick as a last resort, not first one.

How about

while (something = get_something())
{
    switch (something)
    {
    case A:
    case B:
        do_something();
    }        
}

It's shorter and perform its stuff in a more clear way.
