           Summary: Compiler allows a goto statement to skip an
                    initalization
           Product: D
           Version: 0.175
          Platform: PC
               URL: http://www.digitalmars.com/d/statement.html#GotoStatemen
                    t
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: accepts-invalid
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: bugzilla digitalmars.com
        ReportedBy: smjg iname.com


The spec for GotoStatement states:

"It is illegal for a GotoStatement to be used to skip initializations."

However, this code compiles:

----------
import std.stdio;

void main() {
    goto qwert;

    int yuiop = 42;

qwert:
    writefln(yuiop);
}
----------
4294112
----------

The spec doesn't comment on the use of goto to skip a declaration with no
explicit initialization, but it has the same effect of bypassing the principle
that all variables in D are initialized (unless this behaviour is overridden
with a void).  In other words, this does the same:

----------
import std.stdio;

void main() {
    goto qwert;

    int yuiop;

qwert:
    writefln(yuiop);
}
----------

In both instances, a goto has been used to prevent a variable from being
initialized.  Essentially, the compiler treats the code as being equivalent to:

----------
import std.stdio;

void main() {
    int yuiop = void;

    writefln(yuiop);
}
----------

Switch statements can also contain initializations prior to any case or
default. This is either a symptom of this bug, or an enhancement request. I'll
leave it here for now:

void main() {
        switch (1) {
                int x;
                case 1: assert (x == x.init);
        }
}
