The default switch case is BUG(), therefore the end of the function is
unreachable.

What changed recently to cause this to start generating a warning, it
never did before?

What config produces these warnings?
Do you have CONFIG_BUG_VERBOSE set?

Also what gcc versio?

Hi

I do not know what has changed.
I have not tried these options before.
I tested randconfig builds.
Config is attached.

gcc is 4.3.4

Ah, this is it.

# CONFIG_BUG is not set

Is it sane config ?

Only embedded size constrained configs would
consider this.

The reason for the warning is this snippet from
include/asm-generic/bug.h:

#define BUG() do {} while(0)

The above only comes into effect when CONFIG_BUG is not set.

I dunno what the best fix is here.
Embedded or not - I cannot see why we should continue
execution after a BUG().
Code will assume we panicked and following code not to be executed.

As the comment says:
"Don't use BUG() or BUG_ON() unless there's really no way out;"

I would have expected to see something like this:
#define BUG() do {} while(1)

A never ending loop so the watchdog on embedded systems could
force a reboot. IMO more safe than continue and do random
curruption of stuff all over.

David Howells added the do {} while(0) - so cc: on this mail.

Maybe we can use "unreachable()" here.

Makes sense.

Alexander - could you please try to add an
unreachable() call in in bug.h and if it
kills the warnings as expected then send
a patch to Arnd including a proper
changelog describing why this was need.

I copied Arnd on this mail albeit he may miss some context...
In short - Alexandar posted a few patches to get rid of
a set of warnings on sparc.
The root cause of the warnings was the definition of
BUG() when CONFIG_BUG is not set.
