Subject: [Cocci] [PATCH] checkpatch: Allow --fix removal of unnecessary break statements
Date: Sun, 18 Oct 2020 12:49:26 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <dfe24da760056e31d90ff639b47c494263b5f4a7.camel@perches.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <alpine.DEB.2.22.394.2010172016370.9440@hadrien>

switch/case use of break after a return or goto is unnecessary.

There is an existing warning for these uses, so add a --fix option too.

Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com>

For today's next, this would remove ~300 instances like:

	case FOO:
		return bar;
		break;
or
	case FOO:
		goto bar;
		break;
