//! Checks for continue statements in loops that are redundant.
//!
//! For example, the lint would catch
//!
//! ```rust
//! let mut a = 1;
//! let x = true;
//!
//! while a < 5 {
//!     a = 6;
//!     if x {
//!         // ...
//!     } else {
//!         continue;
//!     }
//!     println!("Hello, world");
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! And suggest something like this:
//!
//! ```rust
//! let mut a = 1;
//! let x = true;
//!
//! while a < 5 {
//!     a = 6;
//!     if x {
//!         // ...
//!         println!("Hello, world");
//!     }
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! This lint is **warn** by default.

    /// ### What it does
    /// The lint checks for `if`-statements appearing in loops
    /// that contain a `continue` statement in either their main blocks or their
    /// `else`-blocks, when omitting the `else`-block possibly with some
    /// rearrangement of code can make the code easier to understand.
    ///
    /// ### Why is this bad?
    /// Having explicit `else` blocks for `if` statements
    /// containing `continue` in their THEN branch adds unnecessary branching and
    /// nesting to the code. Having an else block containing just `continue` can
    /// also be better written by grouping the statements following the whole `if`
    /// statement within the THEN block and omitting the else block completely.
    ///
    /// ### Example
    /// ```rust
    /// # fn condition() -> bool { false }
    /// # fn update_condition() {}
    /// # let x = false;
    /// while condition() {
    ///     update_condition();
    ///     if x {
    ///         // ...
    ///     } else {
    ///         continue;
    ///     }
    ///     println!("Hello, world");
    /// }
    /// ```
    ///
    /// Could be rewritten as
    ///
    /// ```rust
    /// # fn condition() -> bool { false }
    /// # fn update_condition() {}
    /// # let x = false;
    /// while condition() {
    ///     update_condition();
    ///     if x {
    ///         // ...
    ///         println!("Hello, world");
    ///     }
    /// }
    /// ```
    ///
    /// As another example, the following code
    ///
    /// ```rust
    /// # fn waiting() -> bool { false }
    /// loop {
    ///     if waiting() {
    ///         continue;
    ///     } else {
    ///         // Do something useful
    ///     }
    ///     # break;
    /// }
    /// ```
    /// Could be rewritten as
    ///
    /// ```rust
    /// # fn waiting() -> bool { false }
    /// loop {
    ///     if waiting() {
    ///         continue;
    ///     }
    ///     // Do something useful
    ///     # break;
    /// }

/* This lint has to mainly deal with two cases of needless continue

//         } else {
//             continue;
//         }
//         // region C
//     }
//
// This code can better be written as follows:
//
//     loop {
//         // region A
//         if cond {
//             // region B
//             // region C

// Case 2 [Continue inside then block]:
//
//     loop {
//       // region A
//       if cond {
//           continue;
//           // potentially more code here.
//       } else {
//           // region B
//       }
//       // region C
