BUG in G++ 1.34.0 - missed error (a different one)
#1726

This error is related to (but different from) the last one I posted
regarding goto's jumping around object declarations.

In this case, G++ 1.34.0/Sun3 fails to issue an error when an
"unstructured" switch statement causes an apparently bogus transfer
of control past a declaration/initialization.

If an error message is ever issued for this condition, it seems like
it should be issued for the line indicated below.

/*
Description - check that "it is not possible to transfer control past a
		declaration with an (implicit or explicit) initializer"
		as called for by the "manual", section 9.11, page 296.

		This test checks that legal but "unstructured" forms of
		switch statements are not allowed to circumvent the transfer
		rules for goto statements.
*/

class c {
public:
	c (int i);
	~c ();
};

void test ()
{
	switch (1) {
	case 0:
		{
		   c c_object (1);
	case 1:				// ERROR - case in wrong binding contour
		break;
		}
	}
}
