Cx Language Adds Full Labeled Break/Continue Support Across Lexer, Interpreter, and JIT
The Cx programming language has implemented labeled break and continue statements across its entire stack, from the lexer to the JIT compiler, completed in two focused commits on June 28, 2026. The language adopts a Rust-inspired syntax using 'ident for labels, with lexer rules designed to distinguish label tokens from character literals without ambiguity. The rollout was split into two commits: the first established frontend groundwork including the Label token and semantic checks, while the second enabled actual execution in the interpreter and JIT backends. The interpreter now handles labeled break and continue signals, and the JIT gained a label-aware loop context stack to support targeted jumps without affecting existing unlabeled behavior. The project's test suite now records 292 passing tests with zero failures, covering semantic rejections and labeled outer-loop control flow.
