[ragel-users] Am I misinterpreting the purpose of fbreak?

[Adrian Thurston]

The problem is that fbreak does not advance p when it breaks out of the
loop. This is a choice I made a long time ago and I think I was taking
the "do as little as possible on behalf of the user" approach. But not
advancing p while advancing cs is clearly wrong and confusing. This is
something that will change in 6.0 (it's in the TODO already).

In the meantime you can do p++ just before the break.
