Daniel Sun commented on GROOVY-5183:
------------------------------------
Jochen, could you offer us some example to show the solution?
> It would be Groovy if postfix conditionals were available like in Perl
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: GROOVY-5183
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-5183
> Project: Groovy
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: syntax
> Affects Versions: 2.0-beta-1
> Environment: any
> Reporter: ericksn
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 4.0
>
>
> I would be nice if Groovy supported Perl's postfix conditionals.
> This is something I really miss from Perl.
> In Perl you can supply a boolean condition to the loop control next, last or
> redo statements.
> In Groovy it would be cool if we could do the same with continue or break.
> small example
> {code:Java}
> while (some condition) {
> if (condition) continue
> if (another_condition) break
> }
> {code}
> example using postfix loop control
> {code:Java}
> while (some condition) {
> continue if condition
> break if another_condition
> }
> {code}
> or
> {code:Java}
> LABEL:
> while (some condition) {
> continue LABEL if condition
> break LABEL if another_condition
> }
> {code}
