I have debug the C++ front-end of gcc3.3.5.
In function finish_switch_cond:
if (cond != error_mark_node)
{
cond = default_conversion (cond);
cond = fold (build1 (CLEANUP_POINT_EXPR, TREE_TYPE (cond), cond));
}
SRF: the type of cond is "int"
if (cond != error_mark_node)
{
index = get_unwidened (cond, NULL_TREE);
/* We can't strip a conversion from a signed type to an unsigned,
because if we did, int_fits_type_p would do the wrong thing
when checking case values for being in range,
and it's too hard to do the right thing. */
if (TREE_UNSIGNED (TREE_TYPE (cond))
== TREE_UNSIGNED (TREE_TYPE (index)))
cond = index;
}
SRF: bug the type of cond is back to "signed char" here.....
Maybe there is something error in function "get_unwidened"
