Thread: How to exit from nested loops?

Hi everybody.

If I have nested loops, and I'd like to exit all of them given a condition,
How do I break out?

Code:

for (x = 0; x < lim0; x++){
    for (x1 = 0; x1 < lim1; x1++){
        for (x2 = 0; x2 < lim2; x2++){
             if (contidion)
                 break; // this exit the inner loop only - 
       }
    }
}

I don't know if C has got some exit or anything that suites the case,
the only alternatives I see at the moment are return if I put the nested
loops in a function, goto that is badly considered in modern world
or to change the whole structure of the program, and that could be quite heavy
to digest.

Or I could use a workaround:

Code:

for (x = 0; x < lim0; x++){
    for (x1 = 0; x1 < lim1; x1++){
         for (x2 = 0; x2 < lim2; x2++){
               if (contidion){
                   break_x1 = 1;
                   break_x = 1;
                   break; // this exit the inner loop only
                }
         }
         if (break_x1) break;
     }
      if (break_x) break;
}

Any alternative in standard C99?
