Explicit fall-through in switch statements?

[Frédéric Delanoy]

For every wine version, static checkers (like coverity) detect cases
where a switch case automatically falls-through to the next case.

Shouldn't be there a rule that such cases are always marked with a
"fall-through comment"?
With the possible exception of case with no statement? like 'case FOO:
case BAR: do_something();...'?

This would probably help IMHO, especially when people refactor old code.

I remember about a similar discussion:

I reckon there are currently about 105 unmarked fall-throughs in the dlls.

Unless people consider it offensive, one option might be to make careful use
of git blame to find out who wrote the particular cases and ask them whether
their fall-throughs were deliberate, marking up or fixing with breakS as
appropriate.

It might be useful to post a listing of the files where unmarked
fall-throughs (falls-through?) appear, and I could see if any of them
are on my turf.

Here is a rough-and-ready list of where they are.

Perhaps I should add that the list is of caseS/defaultS that may be fallen
through to, rather than out from.

Unfortunately,because I produced it in a hurry, it does contain the odd
copy-and-paste error for case names (e.g., the case for dmusic/collection.c
line 409 should be default:, not case 8:, and that for
dlls/oledb32/convert.c line 873 should be case DBTYPE_NUMERIC: not case
VT_BSTR:), but I think the line numbers are more trustworthy.
