💻 Code

Compiler options: --lib ES2015,dom --target ES5

async function foo() {
    tmp: {
        for (let x = 0; x < 4; x++)
            if (await Promise.resolve(true))
                break tmp;
        console.log("Impossible");
        throw 0;
    }
    console.log("Success");
}

foo();

🙁 Actual behavior

"Impossible" is logged, because the break statement seems to short-circuit the inner loop

🙂 Expected behavior

"Success" is logged, because the break statement should short-circuit the outer block

Interestingly, it does seem to handle breaking from outer loops (eg adding a superfluous loop, tmp: for (let nvm = 0; nvm < 1; nvm++) ...), but not plain blocks.
