Best way to break?

my current hierarchy looks like this:

main()
{
for()
{
function();
}
}

function()
{
if
{
break;
}
}

apparently c++ doesn't like it if I have the function try and break the for loop, but i need that function to do so. What would be the proper course of action for this scenario?

Could you explain how the loops are structured?
 its unclear how its needs to be reset and where is the function in the loop nesting.
