New JEP: Switch Expressions for the Java Language

[Remi Forax]

Hi Brian,
correct me of i'm wrong but there is no discussion about accessing to a local variable in the body of an expression,

void m(int x, int y) {
  return switch(x) {
    case 0 -> y;   // is it allowed, how is it translated ?
    default -> 0;
  };
}

regards,
Rémi
