therefore, all the field declarations in the example are allowed. 1507 1483 As for unnamed bit fields, an unnamed field is used for padding a structure to a particular size. 1508 A list of unnamed fields is also supported, \eg:1484 A list of unnamed fields is also supported, e.g.: 1509 1485 \begin{lstlisting} 1510 1486 struct { 1511 int , , ;

An example of the use of a record-field tuple is … … 1784 1760 } 1785 1761 \end{lstlisting} 1786 While the declaration of the local variable ©y© is useful with a scope across all ©case© clauses, the initialization for such a variable is defined to never be executed because control always transfers over it. 1787 Furthermore, any statements before the first ©case© clause can only be executed if labelled and transferred to using a ©goto©, either from outside or inside of the ©switch©, both of which are problematic. 1788 As well, the declaration of ©z© cannot occur after the ©case© because a label can only be attached to a statement, and without a fall through to case 3, ©z© is uninitialized. 1789 The key observation is that the ©switch© statement branches into control structure, i.e., there are multiple entry points into its statement body. 1762 While the declaration of the local variable ©y© is useful and its scope is across all ©case© clauses, the initialization for such a variable is defined to never be executed because control always transfers over it. 1763 Furthermore, any statements before the first ©case© clause can only be executed if labelled and transferred to using a ©goto©, either from outside or inside of the ©switch©. 1764 As mentioned, transfer into control structures should be forbidden; 1765 transfers from within the ©switch© body using a ©goto© are equally unpalatable. 1766 As well, the declaration of ©z© is cannot occur after the ©case© because a label can only be attached to a statement, and without a fall through to case 3, ©z© is uninitialized. 1790 1767 \end{enumerate} 1791 1768 … … 1801 1778 and there is only a medium amount of fall-through from one ©case© clause to the next, and most of these result from a list of case values executing common code, rather than a sequence of case actions that compound. 1802 1779 \end{itemize} 1803 These observations help to put the \CFAchanges to the ©switch© into perspective.1780 These observations help to put the suggested changes to the ©switch© into perspective. 1804 1781 \begin{enumerate} 1805 1782 \item 1806 1783 Eliminating default fall-through has the greatest potential for affecting existing code. 1807 However, even if fall-through is removed, most ©switch© statements would continue to work because of the explicit transfers already present at the end of each ©case© clause, the common placement of the ©default© clause at the end of the case list, and the most common use of fall-through, i.e., a list of ©case© clauses executing common code, \eg:1808 \begin{lstlisting}1784 However, even if fall-through is removed, most ©switch© statements would continue to work because of the explicit transfers already present at the end of each ©case© clause, the

such as the above example of processing shell arguments. 1813 <<<<<<< HEAD 1814 Therefore, to preserve backwards compatibility, it is necessary to introduce a new kind of ©switch© statement, called ©choose©, with no implicit fall-through semantics and an explicit fall-through if the last statement of a case-clause ends with the new keyword ©fallthru©, \eg: 1815 ======= 1816 Therefore, to preserve backwards compatibility, it is necessary to introduce a new kind of ©switch© statement, called ©choose©, with no implicit fall-through semantics and an explicit fall-through if the last

©switch©/©choose© body is solved by restricting declarations and associated initialization to the start of statement body, which is executed \emph{before} the transfer to the appropriate ©case© clause \footnote{1845 Essentially, these declarations are hoisted before the ©switch©/©choose©statement and both declarations and statement are surrounded by a compound statement.} and precluding statements before the first ©case© clause.1846 Further declaration s at the same nesting level as the statement body are disallowed to ensure every transfer into the body is sound.1817 Dealing with unreachable

template-syntax, e.g, ©Foo<Bar<int®>>®©, this issue can be solved with a more powerful lexer/parser. 2735 2708 2736 There are several ambiguous cases with operator identifiers, \eg©int *?*?()©, where the string ©*?*?© can be lexed as ©*©/©?*?© or ©*?©/©*?©.2737 Since it is common practise to put a unary operator juxtaposed to an identifier, \eg©*i©, users will be annoyed if they cannot do this
