The 'best' I think that can be done is to do something like:

	switch (switch_variable)
	{
	case a: ...
		...
		goto common;
		break;

	case b: ...
		...
	common:	common_code_for_a_and_b
		break;

	case c: ...
		...
		break;
	}

Gotos are usually abused, but I think the for/while stuff shown
is just awful.  I think this is a lot easier to understand.  No ?
