Description David Resnick 2006-02-28 19:40:15 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060111 Firefox/1.5.0.1

Description of problem:
Below is an example of something I hit in my code.  Not a big deal,
repair my bad code by putting the case with the declaration in a block.  
I see from the C++ standard that jumping (goto or switch) across a
non-POD declaration (or any declaration with an initializer) is
forbidden.  Just a bit surprised to see the compiler report an
internal error on it.  Note that if instead of a std::string it is a 
POD type declared in the case statement, the warning is still there 
about crossing initialization but not the internal compiler error.

temp(1552)$ g++ --version
g++ (GCC) 3.2.3 20030502 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.3-34)

temp(1551)$ cat foo.cpp
#include <string>
int main(void)
{
  int i = 4;
  switch (i) {
  case 1:
    std::string bar="quux";
    break;
  default:
    break;
  }
  return 0;
}

temp(1550)$ g++ -Wall -o foo foo.cpp
foo.cpp: In function `int main()':
foo.cpp:11: jump to case label
foo.cpp:9:   crosses initialization of `std::string bar'

Internal compiler error: Error reporting routines re-entered.
Please submit a full bug report,
with preprocessed source if appropriate.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gcc-3.2.3-34

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. See Description above for C++ program and compiler args used
2.
3.
  

Actual Results:  I saw this:

Internal compiler error: Error reporting routines re-entered.

Expected Results:  Error message is fine.  Just surprised to see
an internal compiler error.
