           Summary: switch does not work with variable parameter
           Product: Swift
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: SwiftScript language
        AssignedTo: benc at hawaga.org.uk
        ReportedBy: benc at hawaga.org.uk
                CC: swift-devel at ci.uchicago.edu


The below code executes the default case, rather than the 8 case. Replacing the
switch with:

    switch(8) {

with the selector value a hard-coded constant causes the 8 case to run.

type messagefile {}

(messagefile t) greeting(string m) { 
    app {
        echo m stdout=@filename(t);
    }
}

messagefile outfile <"091-case.out">;

int selector = 8;

print(selector);

string message;

switch(selector) {
  case 3:
    message="first message";
    break;
  case 8:
    message="eighth message";
    break;
  case 57:
    message="last message";
    break;
  default:
    message="no message at all...";
    break;
}

outfile = greeting(message);
