8.8 Jump statements [stmt.jump]

8.8.3 The continue statement [stmt.cont]

A continue statement shall be enclosed by ([stmt.pre]) an iteration-statement or an expansion-statement.
If the innermost enclosing such statement X is an iteration-statement ([stmt.iter]), the continue statement causes control to pass to the end of the statement or compound-statement of X.
Otherwise, control passes to the end of the compound-statement of the current ([stmt.expand]).
