Bug 400453

Comment 1 Sven Efftinge 2014-02-03 10:33:32 EST

The idea is to allow to write something like this:


  switch foo : someExpression {
     MyType case foo.someOp()
     OtherType case foo.other : someOtherExpression;
  }

Where someOtherExpression is evaluated when either foo matches 

  MyType case foo.someOp()
or 
  OtherType case foo.other

We need some separator other than colon ':' as it'd cause ambiguities:

// without separator
B 
case A: 
   foo;
// same as 
// B case A: foo;
// which is AND and not the expected OR


// with colon as separator
A case b:
C case d:
   foo;
// same as 
// A case b: C;
// case d: foo;

I propose to use comma ',' to separate the guards.
