As formulated, this statement prevents the use of continue in while loops.
However, there have been a number of previous posts about whether rules 6-5-1 to 6-5-6 apply to while loops as well as for loops. The reply to “Rules 6-5-1 to 6-5-6” by dg1980 April 28 2016 (in section 6.5 of the bulletin board) was:
6-5-1 only applies to for loops, arguably 6-5-2 to 6-5-6 may apply to while loops as well.
These rules are under consideration in light of this and MISRA C:2012's approach
This applies to 6-6-3 as well
