Also have a look at do-expressions: https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2025/p2806r3.html   int purr = do {     switch(meow)     {          case 5: do_return 123;          case 123: do_return 321;          default: throw nullptr;     }; };     They can (if accepted) also be combined with pattern-matching:   int purr = meow match {      5 => do { do_return 123; };      123 => do { do_return 321; };      _ => do { throw nullptr; }; };             -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von:Tymi via Std-Proposals <std-proposals_at_[hidden]> Gesendet:Mi 14.05.2025 07:05 Betreff:[std-proposals] switch expression/matching switch expression An:std-proposals_at_[hidden]; CC:Tymi <tymi.cpp_at_[hidden]>; A matching switch expression could be useful and could get optimised into a jump table  ```cpp int meow = 5; int purr = switch(meow) {      case 5: 123;      case 123: 321;      default: throw nullptr; };``` Whatever the syntax would be, this is just an example and it can definitely improve   Tymi. -- Std-Proposals mailing list Std-Proposals_at_[hidden] https://lists.isocpp.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/std-proposals
