Ticket #346 (new defect)

Cannot break out of a loop from within a branch

Description

The generated C# treats the 'break' statement as being part of the switch structure instead of breaking out of the loop.

Test case that results in infinite loop.

class Program

    def main

        x = 1

        while true
            branch x
                on 1
                    trace x
                    break
                else
                    print "Should not get printed"

        print "done"

One solution is to generate a goto statement in the C#. Some more alternatives are here:  http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1987379/break-out-of-a-loop-that-contains-a-switch-statement-c
