Bug ID: 107571 Summary: Missing fallthrough attribute diagnostics Product: gcc Version: 13.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: jakub at gcc dot gnu.org Target Milestone: --- On: void foo (int n) { void g(), h(), i(); switch (n) { case 1: case 2: g(); [[fallthrough]]; case 3: // warning on fallthrough discouraged do { [[fallthrough]]; // error: next statement is not part of the same substatement execution } while (false); case 6: do { [[fallthrough]]; // error: next statement is not part of the same substatement execution } while (n--); case 7: while (false) { [[fallthrough]]; // error: next statement is not part of the same substatement execution } case 5: h(); case 4: // implementation may warn on fallthrough i(); [[fallthrough]]; // error } } mentioned in https://isocpp.org/files/papers/D2552R1.pdf we don't diagnose misplaced [[fallthrough]] in 2 spots. The original dump shows: switch (n) { case 1:; case 2:; <<cleanup_point <<< Unknown tree: expr_stmt g () >>>>>; <<cleanup_point <<< Unknown tree: expr_stmt .FALLTHROUGH () >>>>>; case 3:; <<cleanup_point <<< Unknown tree: expr_stmt .FALLTHROUGH () >>>>>; case 6:; <D.2778>:; <<cleanup_point <<< Unknown tree: expr_stmt .FALLTHROUGH () >>>>>; if (<<cleanup_point n-- != 0>>) goto <D.2778>; else goto <D.2776>; <D.2776>:; case 7:; goto <D.2779>; <<cleanup_point <<< Unknown tree: expr_stmt .FALLTHROUGH () >>>>>; <D.2779>:; case 5:; <<cleanup_point <<< Unknown tree: expr_stmt h () >>>>>; case 4:; <<cleanup_point <<< Unknown tree: expr_stmt i () >>>>>; <<cleanup_point <<< Unknown tree: expr_stmt .FALLTHROUGH () >>>>>; } so the reason we don't warn in the do { ... } while (false); case is that it disappears probably during genericize_c_loop and the while (false) case because the genericization in that case makes the loop body followed by artificial label.
