- Required
- Every switch statement shall have a default label
- Switch statements with enums as controlling expression don't need
a default label as gcc -Wall enables -Wswitch which warns (and
breaks the build as we use -Werror) if one of the enum labels is
missing from the switch.
Switch statements with integer types as controlling expression
should have a default label:
- if the switch is expected to handle all possible cases
explicitly, then a default label shall be added to handle
unexpected error conditions, using BUG(), ASSERT(), WARN(),
domain_crash(), or other appropriate methods;
- if the switch is expected to handle a subset of all possible
cases, then an empty default label shall be added with an
in-code comment on top of the default label with a reason and
when possible a more detailed explanation. Example::
default:
/* Notifier pattern */
break;
