Bug using "continue" in shaders (minimum example code included)

Using the following GLSL Fragment Shader renders strange behaviour. The second continue is never executed - even if b is GL_TRUE. (This example is a reduced version of a bigger shader, that has some code inbetween both continues.)

Driver Version 335.23; GeForce GTX 660; Windows 8.1 64 bits

#version 330

out vec4 color;

uniform bool a;
uniform bool b;

void main() {
	for (int i = 0; i < 3; ++i) {
		// a = GL_TRUE and b = GL_TRUE

		// This does not work
		// THE TRIANGLE IS NOT DRAWN
		if (!a)
			continue;
		if (b)
			continue;

		// This works
		// THE TRIANGLE IS DRAWN
		//if (!a || b)
		//	continue;

		discard;
	}
	
	color = vec4(1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0);
}

For completeness, I use the following vertex shader:

#version 330

in vec2 coords;

void main() {
	gl_Position = vec4(coords, 0.0, 1.0);
}

and this C++ code (using SDL2 and glLoadGen) to execute the program:

#include "gl_core_4_4.h"
#include <cstdlib>
#include <SDL.h>
#include <string>
#include <fstream>
#include <sstream>
#include <memory>

static GLint compileShader(const std::string &path, GLenum shaderType) {
	auto shader = glCreateShader(shaderType);

	std::ifstream in;
	std::string line;
	std::ostringstream shaderSourceStream;
	in.open(path);
	while (in.good()) {
		std::getline(in, line);
		shaderSourceStream << line << "\n";
	}
	in.close();
	std::string shaderSource = shaderSourceStream.str();

	const char * shaderCStr = shaderSource.c_str();
	glShaderSource(shader, 1, &shaderCStr, nullptr);

	glCompileShader(shader);

	GLint infoLogLength;
	glGetShaderiv(shader, GL_INFO_LOG_LENGTH, &infoLogLength);
	if (infoLogLength) {
		auto infoLogCStr = std::unique_ptr<GLchar[]>(new GLchar[infoLogLength]);
		glGetShaderInfoLog(shader, infoLogLength, nullptr, infoLogCStr.get());
	}

	GLint status;
	glGetShaderiv(shader, GL_COMPILE_STATUS, &status);
	if (status != GL_TRUE) {
		throw std::string("GL_COMPILE_STATUS for shader is not GL_TRUE: " + path);
	}

	return shader;
}

int main(int, char*[]) {
	SDL_GL_SetAttribute(SDL_GL_CONTEXT_MAJOR_VERSION, 3);
	SDL_GL_SetAttribute(SDL_GL_CONTEXT_MINOR_VERSION, 3);

	auto window = SDL_CreateWindow(
		"Test",
		SDL_WINDOWPOS_CENTERED, SDL_WINDOWPOS_CENTERED,
		1024, 768,
		SDL_WINDOW_OPENGL);
	auto context = SDL_GL_CreateContext(window);
	ogl_LoadFunctions();

	auto v = compileShader("vert.glsl", GL_VERTEX_SHADER);
	auto f = compileShader("frag.glsl", GL_FRAGMENT_SHADER);
	auto prog = glCreateProgram();
	glAttachShader(prog, v);
	glAttachShader(prog, f);
	glLinkProgram(prog);
	glUseProgram(prog);
	GLint status;
	glGetProgramiv(prog, GL_LINK_STATUS, &status);
	if (status != GL_TRUE) {
		throw std::string("...");
	}

	glClearColor(1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f);

	const float coords[] = {-0.5f, -0.5f, 0.5f, -0.5f, 0.0f, 0.5f};
	GLuint buffer;
	glGenBuffers(1, &buffer);
	glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, buffer);
	glBufferData(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, sizeof(coords), coords, GL_STATIC_DRAW);

	GLuint vao;
	glGenVertexArrays(1, &vao);
	glBindVertexArray(vao);
	glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, buffer);
	glEnableVertexAttribArray(0);
	glVertexAttribPointer(0, 2, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, 0, 0);

	glUniform1i(glGetUniformLocation(prog, "a"), GL_TRUE);
	glUniform1i(glGetUniformLocation(prog, "b"), GL_TRUE);

	SDL_Event e;
	for (;;) {
		glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
		glDrawArrays(GL_TRIANGLES, 0, 6);

		SDL_GL_SwapWindow(window);

		while (SDL_PollEvent(&e))
			;
	}

	return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

Same case with me.
After update driver 337.88, this problem is encounted.

Could you please verify if the problem is still present in the available newer beta driver 340.43?

If yes, I’ll let the OpenGL driver team know. Thanks.

Same with me. Еncountered in 340.52 and in OpenGL 4.5 340.65 beta drivers.

I reported this issue with a bug tracking ticket way back in January of 2014.
It began with the driver version released that late Dec/13 or Jan/14

When I inquired about the fix a few times they just said maybe the next driver. never fixed.

I worked around this issue with an if statement and moved-on …

I was and am kind of stunned really, that they appear not to care.
