Question

I have some code that looks like this:

someFunc(value) {      switch(value){         case 1:         case 2:         case 3: #ifdef SOMEMACRO         case 4:         case 5: #endif            return TRUE;     } return FALSE; } 

SOMEMACRO is defined, and let’s say the value is 4.. Why does case 4 and 5 get skipped and FALSE is returned instead? 🙁

Is it because I don’t have a default case or am I not allowed to use an ifdef in the switch statement?

Answer 1

‘switch’ Isn’t Broken

to, more or less, quote The Pragmatic Programmer.

Go ahead and look somewhere else for the error. To convince yourself add value = 4 and #define SOMEMACRO right there in someFunc.

Make a clean build to make sure every dependancy is resolved.
