Compiler Error C2046

  • Article

illegal case

The keyword case can appear only in a switch statement.

The following sample generates C2046:

// C2046.cpp
int main() {
   case 0:   // C2046
}

Possible resolution:

// C2046b.cpp
int main() {
   int i = 0;

   switch(i) {
      case 0:
      break;

      default:
      break;
   }
}
