Goto对于打破嵌套循环非常有用

for (i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
    for (j = 0; j < 1000; j++) {
        for (k = 0; k < 1000; k++) {
             for (l = 0; l < 1000; l++){
                ....
                if (condition)
                    goto break_me_here;
                ....
            }
        }
    }
}

break_me_here:
// Statements to be executed after code breaks at if condition

Breaking out of a for-loop is a little strange to me, since the semantics of a for-loop typically indicate that it will execute a specified number of times. However, it's not bad in all cases; if you're searching for something in a collection and want to break after you find it, it's useful. Breaking out of nested loops, however, isn't possible in C++; it is in other languages through the use of a labeled break. You can use a label and a goto, but that might give you heartburn at night..? Seems like the best option though.

 bool found = false;
    
    for(int i=0; i < m; ++i){
        for(int j=0; j < n; ++j)
            if(grid[i][j] == '*'){
                q.push(make_pair(i,j));
                found = true;
                break;
            }
        if(found)
            break;
    }

一个使用goto和标签跳出嵌套循环的代码示例:

for (;;)
  for (;;)
    goto theEnd;
theEnd:

其他语言如PHP接受break参数(即break 2;)来指定你想要跳出的嵌套循环级别的数量，但c++不接受。你必须使用一个在循环之前设置为false的布尔值，如果你想中断，在循环中设置为true，在嵌套循环之后加上一个条件中断，检查布尔值是否设置为true，如果是则中断。

break语句终止它出现的最近的封闭do、for、switch或while语句的执行。控制权转移到终止语句后面的语句。
