I'm programming a simple text-based RPG using a switch statement for a game loop. The program works fine until I attempt to add another case statement, at which point it开发者_如何学Python gives me the following three errors: "jump to case label" (error occurs at the line of the newly added case), and two "crosses initialization of 'ClassName *objectName'"(errors occur when the new objects are created in case 2). I'll paste the important code, if anyone needs more, please let me know.

int main(void)
{
    // add weapons to array
    Weapon *weaponList[12];
    // Rusty Sword
    weaponList[0] = new Weapon(0,0,0);
    weaponList[0]->SetAll(0,2,3);
    // Bronze Sword
    weaponList[1] = new Weapon(0,0,0);
    weaponList[1]->SetAll(1,5,10);
    // Bronze Battle Axe
    weaponList[2] = new Weapon(0,0,0);
    weaponList[2]->SetAll(2,15,30);
    // Iron Sword
    weaponList[3] = new Weapon(0,0,0);
    weaponList[3]->SetAll(3,25,70);

    // add armor to array
    Armor *armorList[12];
    // Worn Platemail
    armorList[0] = new Armor(0,0,0);
    armorList[0]->SetAll(0,2,3);
    // Bronze Chainmail
    armorList[1] = new Armor(0,0,0);
    armorList[1]->SetAll(1,5,8);
    // Bronze Platemail
    armorList[2] = new Armor(0,0,0);
    armorList[2]->SetAll(2,7,20);
    // Iron Chainmail
    armorList[3] = new Armor(0,0,0);
    armorList[3]->SetAll(3,15,60);

By the sounds of it, you have:

case 2:
    Type somevar = ...;
    ...
    break;

case 3:

To reach case 3, the compiler generates a jump past the initialization of somevar.

To fix, use braces to create a block surrounding the variable declaration:

case 2:
    {
    Type somevar = ...;
    ...
    }
    break;

---

Wrap declarations in a stack frame...er...local scope... :)

switch(gamestate)
{
    case 0:
    {
      Apple a;
      a.DoSomething();
    }
    break;

    case 1: /* etc. */ break;
    case 2: /* etc. */ break;
}

...or move them outside the switch:

Apple A;
switch(gamestate)
{
     case 0: a.DoSomething(); break;

Consider the following:

switch (x)
{
    case 0:
        int i = 0;
    case 1:
        i = 5;
}

What if x is 1? Then we skip over the initialization of i and just start using it. This is what you're getting: case 3 has access to variables from case 2, but if you use them you've started using them without running their initialization.

The common solution is to introduce scope:

switch (x)
{
    case 0:
    {
        int i = 0;
    }
    case 1:
    {
        i = 5; // not possible, no i in this scope
    }
}

edit

Now that we see more code, the problem is obvious, this

        case 2:
            Weapon *wCurrent = weaponList[heroWeapon];
            Armor *aCurrent = armorList[heroArmor];

declares two variables so you can't put a case after it unless you wrap the body of case 2 in {}

original answer below

The scope of variables declared in a case are the braces that enclose the switch unless you add an extra set of braces. so something like this works.

    switch(gamestate)
    {
        case 0:
            foo a;
            break;
    }

but this allows case 1 to skip initialization of a but still reference it, so it generates an error.

    switch(gamestate)
    {
        case 0:
            foo a;
            break;

        case 1:
            break;
    }

So you need to do this instead, now the scope of a is limited to case 0.

    switch(gamestate)
    {
        case 0:
            {
            foo a;
            }
            break;

        case 1:
            break;
    }

Incidently, when you edited your code to leave out the irrelevant stuff, you also removed the code that caused the problem. ;)
