Hi all,
Last week posted a patch for a review [1], which uses case ranges. Case ranges
make switch statements more concise, an example would be
switch (var) {
case 1 ... 3:
break;
}
Without case ranges, we would either need to use if statements or multiple case
statements if the range is reasonably small.
There are more places where we seem to use them and in my opinion they can
potentially make switch statements a lot more powerful. However they are not
part of the C++ standard, they are a GNU extension [2] which is also supported
by clang. What is the general feeling towards accepting them?
