Indicates that the fall through from the previous case label is intentional and should not be diagnosed by a compiler that warns on fallthrough.
[edit] Syntax [edit] ExplanationMay only be applied to a null statement to create a fallthrough statement ([[fallthrough]];).
A fallthrough statement may only be used in a switch statement, where the next statement to be executed is a statement with a case or default label for that switch statement. If the fallthrough statement is inside a loop, the next (labeled) statement must be part of the same iteration of that loop.
[edit] Examplevoid f(int n) { void g(), h(), i(); switch (n) { case 1: case 2: g(); [[fallthrough]]; case 3: // no warning on fallthrough h(); case 4: // compiler may warn on fallthrough if (n < 3) { i(); [[fallthrough]]; // OK } else { return; } case 5: while (false) { [[fallthrough]]; // ill-formed: next statement is not // part of the same iteration } case 6: [[fallthrough]]; // ill-formed, no subsequent case or default label } }[edit] Defect reports
