Re: checking a loop execution

["chad" <crmeiners@hotmail.com>]

The following code does what you want:

  declare
      Index      : Integer := 1;
      Interupted : Boolean := False;
  begin

      loop

          Interupted := <Condition>;

          exit when  Interupted or else (Index = 10);

          Index      := Index + 1;

      end loop;

      if Interupted then
          Put_Line("Loop interupted at :" & Integer'Image(Index));
      else
          Put_Line("Loop was not interupted.");
      end if;

end;

Although the above code seems a little verboes, I feel that it makes the
logic clearer.
