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.
