Text label in 'switch' statement

Reports labeled statements inside of switch statements. While occasionally intended, this construction is often the result of a typo.

Example:

  switch (x) {
      case 1:
      case2:   //warning: Text label 'case2:' in 'switch' statement
      case 3:
          break;
  }
