I guess we're all required to kowtow to a bunch of effing bots now.
Hooray for having to have a macro to code-switch for the sake of
stupid compiler writers who refuse to give the rest of us a single
workable way to signal "this switch code block should not end here":

/* fall through */
__attribute__((fallthrough));
do { } while (0) /* fall through */

and soon the ISO geniuses will make it worse by adding to C2x:

[[fallthrough]];

Hooray!  Macros to abstractify stupidity!!!!

Dave and I have told you and Miaohe several[1] times[2] to fix[3] the
compiler, but clearly you don't care what we think and have decided to
ram this in through Linus anyway.

Since that is what you choose, do not send me email again.
