Thread: case error with linked list

I'm having an error when using a linked list. I'm simply trying to have a list where you can create...add...delete..etc...

But in my case statement I receive.....

Code:

initialization of 'l1' is skipped by 'case' label

I've never seen this before, any help?

here's my code...

Code:

        choice=menu();
        switch(choice)
            {
            case 1:
            lnklst l1;
            l1.create();

thanks

Code:

            {
            case 1:
            lnklst l1;
            l1.create();

Your var declaration is pushed to the start of the enclosing block, past the label.
You have in effect

Code:

            {
            lnklst l1;  // oops, can't reach this.
            case 1:
            l1.create();

I suspect if you want your list to have any kind of lifetime (longer than the switch basically), it needs to be declared in some outer scope.

Also, you're either having fun with function pointers, or you're actually writing C++. If you can't understand variable scope, I'd lay off the function pointers for a while and focus on the basics. Otherwise, I'd post on the appropriate board.

Quzah.
