The compiler team's explanation
A loop keyword (break or continue) was used outside of a loop.
Erroneous code example:
fn some_func() {
break; // error: `break` outside of a loop
}Without a loop to break out of or continue in, no sensible action can be taken. Please verify that you are using break and continue only in loops. Example:
fn some_func() {
for _ in 0..10 {
break; // ok!
}
