This patch has been inspired by the Linux kernel patch
294f69e662d1 compiler_attributes.h: Add 'fallthrough' pseudo keyword for switch/case use
written by Joe Perches <joe AT perches DOT com> based on an idea from
Dan Carpenter <dan DOT carpenter AT oracle DOT com>. The following text
is from the original log message:
Reserve the pseudo keyword 'fallthrough' for the ability to convert the
various case block /* fallthrough */ style comments to appear to be an
actual reserved word with the same gcc case block missing fallthrough
warning capability.
All switch/case blocks now should end in one of:
break;
fallthrough;
goto <label>;
return [expression];
continue;
In C mode, GCC supports the __fallthrough__ attribute since 7.1,
the same time the warning and the comment parsing were introduced.
Cygwin-only: add an explicit -Wimplicit-fallthrough=5 to the build
flags.
Don't use u_char, u_short, u_int or u_long in Cygwin, unless it refers
to the Winsock types. Use u_intN_t in BSD-based sources, unsigned char
where strings are concerned, uintN_t otherwise. Also:
* net.cc: Fix comment, we're not using u_long anymore.
