But how do I get it break out of th

Answer 1

One of the ways could be to set the condition of the loop to false. But this would mean that you would have to wait for the current iteration to finish.

So to summarize the steps would be:
1. Set a breakpoint at the last line of the loop
2. Continue
3. When breakpoint hits, set the loop condition variable to false.

It won't work as direct break statement though.
