Guess what this prints
----
import std.stdio;
void main()
{
int i = 0;
switch (i) for (i = 8; i < 10; ++i)
{
case 7:
writeln(i);
return;
default: ;
}
}
----
Why does this even compile? It's because the grammar is:
SwitchStatement:
switch ( Expression ) ScopeStatement
and ScopeStatement allows almost anything.
I think the only sane grammar is
SwitchStatement:
switch ( Expression ) BlockStatement
Initially I thought ScopeStatement was accepted in order to
enable Duff's device, but it isn't necessary for that. It might
have originally accepted ScopeStatement to support
E e; switch( e ) with (E) { .... }
Or it may have just been an accident.
But regardless of the original motivation, it allows some truly
dreadful semantics.
Can we disallow this silliness please?
