------- Comment #5 from cvoica at gmail dot com  2008-10-02 13:56 -------
I was trying to compile some code and got this error and thats how I found this
bug.
It seems strange to me that I cannot use a switch within a case branch and the
use the plain std::string.

Testcase:
1. This is working:
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;

int main(){
int i =0;
switch(i){
        case 0:
                break;
        case 1:
                string s;
                break;
}
return 0;
}

2. This is not working:

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;

int main(){
int i =0;
switch(i){
        case 0:
                int j=0;
                switch(j){
                        case 0:
                         break;
                }
                break;
        case 1:
                string s;
                break;
}
return 0;
}
ws6-126:~cvo> g++ switchtest.cxx 
switchtest.cxx: In function ‘int main()’:
switchtest.cxx:14: error: jump to case label
switchtest.cxx:8: error:   crosses initialization of ‘int j’
