Description
In the following example, the
printstatement is not recognized as unreachable code byvulture.More general: If a
while Truestatement has nobreak, then the statement after thewhile Trueis unreachable.Implementation
Introduce
self._current_loop_has_break_statementin order to keep track ofbreakstatements found while traversing the AST.We cannot validate if the break statements only occur in loops (so we need to assume the code is correct). In order to check this properly, we would need to visit the parent first (and push some kind of context or scope; pop if after visiting the children).
