public class BreakStatement
extends Statement

Represents a break statement that terminates execution of a loop or switch statement. When a break statement is encountered, control flow exits the current loop or switch, continuing at the statement following the loop or switch. Labeled break statements can exit outer loops or switch statements.

Constructor Details

BreakStatement

public BreakStatement()

Constructs an unlabeled break statement that exits the innermost enclosing loop or switch.

BreakStatement

public BreakStatement(String label)

Constructs a labeled break statement that exits the enclosing loop or switch with the given label.

Parameters:

label - the name of the label to break to, or null for an unlabeled break

Method Details

getLabel

public String getLabel()

Returns the label associated with this break statement.

Returns:

the label name, or null if this is an unlabeled break statement

visit

public void visit(GroovyCodeVisitor visitor)

Description copied from class: ASTNode

Accepts a code visitor for AST traversal and transformation. Subclasses must implement this method to support visitor pattern-based processing. The visitor pattern enables decoupling of AST structure from processing logic.

Overrides:

visit in class ASTNode

Parameters:

visitor - the GroovyCodeVisitor to process this node
