Fun corners of rfc4506 XDR standard....

[John Carter]

In my perverse exploration of meaningless corners of grammars...

This is compliant RFC4506 XDR....

union foou switch(int a[10]) {
   case 1 :
     int b;
   case 2 :
     char c;
   default :
     string d<5>;
};

It compiles with glibc 2.7 rpcgen and gcc.

What does switch(int a[10]) mean?

Dunno, ask the bloke that wrote a grammar that didn't forbid it. :-)
