Re: [PATCH] checkpatch: skip macros when finding missing switch/case break

[Cambda Zhu]

ïI agree with you. Actually there are some false warnings not mentioned in my patch, such as:

case xxx: {
   if () {
       return;
   } else {
           if () {
               return;
           } else {
               return;
           }
   }
}
case xxx:
   ...

Since compiler can do this now, I think this test should be removed.

Cambda
