continue_label_invalid

(Previously known as continue_label_on_switch)

The label used in a 'continue' statement must be defined on either a loop or a switch member.

The analyzer produces this diagnostic when the label in a continue statement resolves to a label on a switch statement.

The following code produces this diagnostic because the label l, used to label a switch statement, is used in the continue statement:

void f(int i) {
  l: switch (i) {
    case 0:
      continue l;
  }
}

Find a different way to achieve the control flow you need; for example, by introducing a loop that re-executes the switch statement.
