Sure, an example of the warning looks like this for me:
./cli/cli-setshow.c: In function ‘do_setshow_command’:
./cli/cli-setshow.c:353:7: warning: this statement may fall through
[-Wimplicit-fallthrough]
if (*(unsigned int *)c->var == UINT_MAX)
^
./cli/cli-setshow.c:359:2: note: insert ‘__attribute__
((fallthrough));’ to silence this warning
case var_zinteger:
^~~~
__attribute__ ((fallthrough));
./cli/cli-setshow.c:359:2: note: insert ‘break;’ to avoid fall-through
case var_zinteger:
^~~~
break;
