     Compiler error C2361
 
     initialization of 'identifier' is skipped by 'default' label
 
     The specified identifier initialization can be skipped in a
     switch statement.
 
     It is illegal to jump past a declaration with an initializer
     unless the declaration is enclosed in a block.
 
     The scope of the initialized variable lasts until the end of the
     switch statement unless it is declared in an enclosed block within
     the switch statement.
 
     The following is an example of this error:
 
          void func( void )
          {
             int x;
             switch (x)
             {
             case 0 :
                int i = 1;       // error, skipped by default
                { int j = 1; }   // OK, initialized in enclosing block
             default :
                int k = 1;       // OK, initialization not skipped
             }
          }
