The Linux kernel has a macro called IS_ENABLED(), which evaluates to a
constant 1 or 0 based on Kconfig selections, allowing C code to be
unconditionally enabled or disabled at build time. For example:
int foo(struct *a, int b) {
switch (b) {
case 1:
if (a->flag || !IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_64BIT))
return 1;
__attribute__((fallthrough));
case 2:
return 2;
default:
return 3;
}
}
There is an unreachable warning about the fallthrough annotation in the
first case because !IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_64BIT) can be evaluated to 1,
which looks like
return 1;
__attribute__((fallthrough));
to clang.
This type of warning is pointless for the Linux kernel because it does
this trick all over the place due to the sheer number of configuration
options that it has.
Add -Wunreachable-code-fallthrough, enabled under -Wunreachable-code, so
that projects that want to warn on unreachable code get this warning but
projects that do not care about unreachable code can still use
-Wimplicit-fallthrough without having to make changes to their code
base.
Fixes PR51094.

We don't know whether some other instantiation of the template might be able to
reach the annotation, so warning on it has a high chance of false positives.
