Description Tefnet developers 2005-05-02 08:40:16 UTC
gawk has optional support for switch() {} statement. One can enable it using ./configure --enable-switch. I don't think it does any compatibility breakage, so it can be added to the ebuild, improving usability.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Comment 1 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2005-05-02 15:07:31 UTC
i have no problem with this ... az ?
Comment 2 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2005-05-05 18:36:06 UTC
no, should cause no compatibility issues

the docs mention that enable-switch will be on by default with 3.2+ releases, so we can just enable it in our gawk for now :)

At least it breaks openswan. See Bug #105133
