Nope. 2 second test

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

main()
{
   int a = 1;

   if (a == 1) {
      printf("Before break\n");
      break;
      printf("After break\n");
   }
   else {
      printf("before break in else\n");
      break;
      printf("before break in else\n");
   }
}

Produced.

cc     testme.c   -o testme
testme.c: In function 'main':
testme.c:9: error: break statement not within a loop or switch
testme.c:14: error: break statement not within a loop or switch
make: *** [testme] Error 1

Continues and breaks only work within certain constructs.
