Yes.

It is the same as with:

void main(){
 if( true )
  printf("Not executed.\n");
 else
  printf("Executed.\n");
}

So long.

switch is just a shortcut for a lot of goto's to the different case-labels.
so the behaviour is entierly understandable. it jumps over the rest to the
first case that fits..

in C++ (and C) ie

#define when(T) break;case T:

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
    int X = 5;
    switch (5)
    {
    when(5)
        printf("5\n");
    when(1)
        printf("1\n");
    }
    return 0;
}

It is correct code. If you look at the docs then you will see, that
switchstatement derives to blockstatement and not something like
casesequence.

So consecutive breakstatements are also correct. Also code between two
breakstatements without a casestatement. And code after the last
breakstatement also.

So long.
