The default and case keywords can be in any order whatsoever.  The
only limitations are:

Only one default.

No duplicate values in case statements, meaning the actual integral
constant which the expression evaluates to.

An implementation-defined maximum number of total case statements.

Perfectly fine.  The Standard imposes no requirements on the order of
'default' and the constant expressions in the cases.

Hi, all
Does anybody know whether this code

switch (x)
   {
   default: return 0;
   case 1 : return 1;
   case 2 :
   etc..
   }
is complient with the Standard?

It compiles (and executes OK) with MSVC++6.0
I haven't check other ones, but it looks a bit bothering to me

Thanx
