Some low-hanging -Wunreachable-code fruits.
- after croak/die/exit (or return), break (or return!) are pointless (break is not a terminator/separator, it's a promise of a jump) - after goto, another goto (!) is pointless - in some cases (usually function ends) introduce explicit NOT_REACHED to make the noreturn nature clearer (do not do this everywhere, though, since that would mean adding NOT_REACHED after every croak) - for the added NOT_REACHED also add /* NOTREACHED */ since NOT_REACHED is for gcc (and VC), while the comment is for linters - declaring variables in switch blocks is just too fragile: it kind of works for narrowing the scope (which is nice), but breaks the moment there are initializations for the variables (they will be skipped!); in some easy cases simply hoist the declarations out of the block and move them earlier There are still a few places left.
