I'd like to avoid splitting common -W options between default and W=2 just based on the compiler. Getting -Wimplicit-fallthrough enabled found plenty of bugs, so making sure it works correctly for both compilers feels justified to me. (This is just a subset of the same C language short-coming.) > I think clang is just being annoying here, but if I'm the only one who > feels this way chances are I'm wrong :) It's being pretty pedantic, but I don't think it's unreasonable to explicitly state how every case ends. GCC's silence for the case of "fall through to a break" doesn't really seem justified. -- Kees Cook ______________________________________________________ Linux MTD discussion mailing list http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-mtd/
