Bug #: 53892 Summary: Invalid "duplicate case value" for C++11 utf-16 char literals Classification: Unclassified Product: gcc Version: 4.7.2 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: arnethed...@gmail.com In the following C++ function: void f(char16_t c) { switch(c) { case u'\u0000': case u'\u0001': break; } } G++, when invoked with "g++ -std=gnu++11 test.cpp" gives the following unexpected error message: test.cpp: In function ‘void f(char16_t)’: test.cpp:5:5: error: duplicate case value test.cpp:4:5: error: previously used here Lines 4 & 5 are the two case values. Changing either of the values to u'\u0002' makes the code compile correctly.
