Wording for [[fallthrough]] attribute

by Andrew Tomazos

Abstract:

Wording for the [[fallthrough]] attribute described in P0068R0 is proposed for application to the C++17 working draft. [[fallthrough]] captures an intent to use the feature of “falling-through” from one case block to the next, in a switch statement. It has heavy use in existing practice. Kona EWG voted SF=15, F=5, N=0, A=0, SA=0 in favor of [[fallthrough]] from P0068R0. See P0068R0 for detailed motivation/rationale.
