           Summary: Small hole in switch semantics
           Product: D
           Version: 2.040
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: nobody@puremagic.com
        ReportedBy: bearophile_hugs@eml.cc

void main() {
    switch (1) {
        int x;
        case 1:
            assert(x == int.init);
        default:
    }
}

Here often x != x.init.
D isn't C, so it's better to avoid holes in its semantics, if possible.

Interestingly, http://www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/statement.html#GotoStatement says "It is illegal for a GotoStatement to be used to skip initializations." but doesn't say anything of the sort about switch statements.

A probably related case:


import std.stdio;
enum Foo { A }
void main() {
    Foo f = Foo.A;
    switch (f) {
        writeln(f);
        case Foo.A: break;
    }
}


With DMD 2.059head it prints nothing.

You can only execute that block with a goto or a loop.
The initialization should happen anyhow.

IIRC this switch is implemented as below. Unless we expect the block to always run, as in comment 3, it's difficult to fix.

int foo(int a)
{
    switch (var)
    {
        int res;
    case 1: res = 1; return res;
    default: return res;
    }
}

int foo(int a)
{
    if (var == 1) goto L1;
    else goto Ldefault;

    int res;
 L1: res = 1; return res;
 Ldefault: return res;
}
