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; };
};

CC: Tymi <tymi.cpp@gmail.com>;

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
