MS Visual Studio does not parse it. Are you sure its legal C ?

Yes I am.  Try this:
int f(int a)
{
 switch (a)
 {
   case 1:
   {
     int b = 2;
     break;
     case 2:
     break;
   }
 }
}

This is valid C90 and C99, though invalid C++98.

If you are using visual studio, make sure it is being compiled as C
and not C++.  C++ is not a true superset of C; anyone who thinks needs
to tell their CS teacher (or book author) that they are wrong and they
should relearn about the two languages.
