Description of problem:

gcj refuses a syntax accepted by javac.

Factory.java: In class `spec.jbb.infra.Factory.Factory':
Factory.java: In method `spec.jbb.infra.Factory.Factory.tempArray
Near(int,int)':
Factory.java:300: error: Unreachable statement.
                case T_CHAR:

The following syntax is refused by gcj:
	switch (type) {
		case T_BOOLEAN:
                {
                    result = new boolean[entries];
                    break;
                };
                case T_CHAR:
                {
                    result = new char[entries];
                    break;
                };
	etc.

Removing the {} inside the case code fixes the problem.


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

# cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Linux release 9 (Shrike)  2.4.20-8smp

# gcj --version
gcj (GCC) 3.3.1


How reproducible:

Easy.


Steps to Reproduce:

Welcome.java :

public class Welcome
{

static final int T_BOOLEAN = 4;
static final int T_CHAR = 5;

        public static void main(String[] args)
        {
                System.out.println("You're welcome!");
                System.out.println();         
        }

        private static Object pb (int type)
        {
         Object result = null;

                switch (type)
                {
                        case T_BOOLEAN:
                        {
                        result = new boolean[1];
                        break;
                        };
                        case T_CHAR:
                        {
                        result = new char[2];
                        break;
                        };
                }
                return result;
        }
}

    
Actual results:

Compiler error message.


Expected results:

No compiler error message.
