I, for one, much prefer using a "continue" statement for self-contained for/while loops. For example while (isspace(*++sp)) continue; seems a lot clearer than while (isspace(*++sp)) ; and quite a bit clearer than while (isspace(*++sp)); This is a much more explicit and obvious way to express this concept.

Whenever I see a "continue", I expect it to be a jump from the middle of a loop with statements following it. If I saw while (isspace(*++sp)) continue; it would not be what I expected and would make the program harder to comprehend, not clearer. B.J. decvax!yale-comix!herbison-bj Herbison-BJ@Yale
