I tested this locally with different ideas. This definitely looks like
a codegen bug.

I was able to reduce it to:

void main()
{
    switch("'"d)
    {
    case "'"d:
        writeln("a");
        break;
    case "’"d:
        writeln("b");
        break;
    default:
        writeln("default");
    }
}

prints "default"

What seems to fix it is removing the case statement for the "smart
apostrophe". So I'd look there for where the bug is triggering.


Yep, removing one of the two cases works. I tried it with different
versions of dmd back to 2.070.0, and it always gives me the same (wrong)
result. I haven't tried ldc yet.

I think this has been there forever. Happens in 2.040 too (the earliest 
dmd I have on my system).
