            Bug ID: 111526
           Summary: inconsistent handling of declaration after label
           Product: gcc
           Version: 11.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org

coreutils fix for non gcc >= 11

Ever since https://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git;a=commit;h=8b7a9a24
declarations after labels are allowed by default,
and only disabled with -pedantic etc.

I.e. the following simple code compiles on gcc >= 11,
but will fail when tried to be compiled with gcc <= 10, or clang for e.g.
This is exacerbated by the fact there is no compiler option
to avoid the issue on gcc <= 10 or clang,
as that code is explicitly disallowed by C11 and earlier.

    int f(int x) { switch (x) { case 1: int i=f(x); } return 0; }


There is also a more subtle related issue
(which I haven't fully reduced but can easily reproduce),
where the warning will NOT fire even with -Wpedantic on gcc 13 at least.
If one compiles GNU coreutils with the attached commit reverted,
and with -Wpedantic on newer gcc, it will _NOT_ issue a warning.
