OPTION #3a

for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(x); i++) {
 		if (found)
			goto found;
 	}
 	return;
found:
	x[i] = 0;

i prefer a variation of #4

 if (found) { x[i] = 0; break; }

reason:
1. ppl are bad with (!)
2. it is clear what happens if found
3. no side effects; i=ARRAY_SIZE(x) when nothing is found in loop
   so using x[i] may cause trouble.

Of cause there is not THE answer in cases where {} is large
you need a different solution.
