Detailed Description

A structured switch construction.

This always has at least one component, the first, that executes the switch statement itself and has multiple outgoing edges. Each edge flows either to a formal exit block, or to another case component. All additional components are case components, which have either zero or one outgoing edge. If there is an edge, it flows either to another case component or to the formal exit block. The BlockSwitch instance has zero or one outgoing edges.
