I'm afraid I must simply flat out disagree with some of the comments
above.
Certainly it is true that many C programs use a for-if-break pattern
in some or many places. It's fair to call it a common pattern. But
it's wrong to say it is /the/ common pattern. There are other ways
of skinning that cat, and I expect most C programmers have used some
or all of them in the normal course of program development.
Similarly, the assertion that "loops that terminate with `break` are
the mainstay of every competently written code" is an absurd
overstatement. No doubt break-exiting loops are a significant part
of many programs. Probably they are a mainstay in some of them.
But to say they are /the/ mainstay in any non-trivial program is at
best a stretch; to assert that they are /the/ mainstay in /all/
competently written code is simply wrong.
I looked at some statistics for a couple of code bases. The relative
amounts of switch() versus loops (for(), while(), do/while()) was
relatively constant, about one in six or one in seven. Use of break
varied a lot, from close to six percent to under two percents (here
percent means percentage of occurrences of all control keywords).
The biggest category was if() and return, over 80% of the total and
roughly eight times the amount of looping structures. In the scheme
of things switch() is not very important. Loops are important. The
more prominent if() and return are very important. The idea that,
one, exiting a loop with break is always an essential program element
and, two, it's important to be able to do that using switch(), isn't
a good fit for the facts on the ground.
Incidentally, the comment that writing a separate function "doesn't
look right" seems backwards. Breaking large functions into smaller
functions is a good way to make code easier to understand. By their
nature switch() statements tend to be large (in terms of lines of
code) so putting the switch() inside a separate function is likely to
be a good thing, not a bad thing. The motivation for doing that is
not about working around a language limitation, but about writing
better code.
