Subject: Enable -Wimplicit-fallthrough option for clang
X-Git-Tag: REL_19_BETA1~1034
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0284e07599a53d27d744042c10aec3e2e674d5b5;p=thirdparty%2Fpostgresql.git

Enable -Wimplicit-fallthrough option for clang

On clang, -Wimplicit-fallthrough requires annotations with attributes,
but on gcc, -Wimplicit-fallthrough is the same as
-Wimplicit-fallthrough=3, which allows annotations with comments.  In
order to enforce consistent annotations with attributes on both
compilers, we test first for -Wimplicit-fallthrough=5, which will
succeed on gcc, and if that is not found we test for
-Wimplicit-fallthrough.
