C Switch-case curly braces after every case

Question

In a C switch-case flow control, it\'s required to put curly braces { } after a case if variables are being defined in that block.

Answer 1

I consider it bad style to use braces in each case. Cases are labels in C, akin to goto labels. And in the current C language, you're free to declare variables in each case (or anywhere you like) without introducing new blocks, though some people (myself included) also consider that bad style.
