Unused label

Last modified: 03 December 2024

Reports labels that are not targets of any break or continue statements.

Example:

label: for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
  if (i == 3) {
    break;
  }
}

After the quick-fix is applied, the label is removed:

for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
  if (i == 3) {
    break;
  }
}
