Head, meet desk

[Richard Deeming]

What idiot wrote goto case default instead of goto default in one of my C# switch statements, causing an infinite loop? :doh: It certainly couldn't have been me. :-O For future reference: given:

enum Foo { One, Two }

then:

switch (foo)
{
case Foo.One: goto default;
default: Console.WriteLine("Default");
}

compiles to:

if (foo != 0) { }
Console.WriteLine("Default");

whereas:

switch (foo)
{
case Foo.One: goto case default;
default: Console.WriteLine("Default");
}

compiles to:

if (foo == Foo.One)
{
while (true)
{
}
}
Console.WriteLine("Default");

A good reason not to use goto. ;)
