Bug ID: 106929
Summary: declaration in switch-case doesn't fail since GCC 11
Product: gcc
Version: unknown
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: sigmaepsilon92 at gmail dot com
Target Milestone: ---
this code should fail because declarations inside switch-cases aren't allowed
without {}:
void fn(int a) {
switch (a) {
case 0:
int c = 5;
break;
}
}
Starting with gcc 11 this doesn't fail to compile anymore though.
The expected error message would look like this:
<source>: In function 'fn':
<source>:4:13: error: a label can only be part of a statement and a declaration
is not a statement
4 | int c = 5;
| ^~~
Compiler returned: 1
