1. Symptoms

The Rust compiler will emit error E0088 when your code references a label that does not exist within the current scope or when a label is used in an inappropriate syntactic context. This error manifests during the compilation phase and prevents the binary from being built.

Typical compiler output for this error appears as follows:

error[E0088]: label `'foo` does not exist
 --> src/main.rs:3:9
  |
3 |         break 'foo;
  |               ^^^^ help: a label with a similar name exists: `'bar`
