[19] Pattern variable declared in a guard containing instanceof expression is not visible in the case block

[jarthana]

Consider this code:

	switch (r) {
		case Rectangle r1 when (r instanceof (Rectangle(ColoredPoint upperLeft2, ColoredPoint lowerRight) r2)):
		System.out.println(r2); // error reported here
		break;
		default :
			break;
	} 

This code should be allowed but ecj reports an error. Looks like the pattern variable doesn't make it to the case statement and hence to the block.

@jarthana - is this still open ? Looks like it is fixed by #372 ??

Yes, this should be closed.
