Bug #: 51912
Summary: [C++11] G++ accepts floating point case labels
Classification: Unclassified
Product: gcc
Version: 4.7.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Keywords: accepts-invalid
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c++
AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
ReportedBy: jason@gcc.gnu.org
5.19: A converted constant expression of type T is a literal constant
expression, implicitly converted to type T, where the implicit conversion (if
any) is permitted in a literal constant expression and the implicit conversion
sequence contains only user-defined conversions, lvalue-to-rvalue conversions
(4.1), integral promotions (4.5), and integral conversions (4.7) other than
narrowing conversions (8.5.4). [ Note: such expressions may be used as case
expressions (6.4.2), ....
So a floating point literal is not a valid case expression, since converting it
to the switch type would require a non-integral conversion.
void f(int i)
{
switch (i)
{
case 1.0:;
}
}
