This is a combination of Q_UNREACHABLE() with a return statement.
ATM, the return statement is unconditionally included. If we notice
that some compilers warn about return after __builtin_unreachable(),
then we can map Q_UNREACHABLE_RETURN(...) to Q_UNREACHABLE() without
having to touch all the code that uses explicit Q_UNREACHABLE() +
return.
The fact that Boost has BOOST_UNREACHABLE_RETURN() indicates that
there are compilers that complain about a lack of return after
Q_UNREACHABLE (we know that MSVC, ICC, and GHS are among them), as
well as compilers that complained about a return being present
(Coverity). Take this opportunity to properly adapt to Coverity, by
leaving out the return statement on this compiler.
Apply the macro around the code base, using a clang-tidy transformer
rule:
const std::string unr = "unr", val = "val", ret = "ret";
auto makeUnreachableReturn = cat("Q_UNREACHABLE_RETURN(",
ifBound(val, cat(node(val)), cat("")),
")");
auto ignoringSwitchCases = [](auto stmt) {
return anyOf(stmt, switchCase(subStmt(stmt)));
};
makeRule(
stmt(ignoringSwitchCases(stmt(isExpandedFromMacro("Q_UNREACHABLE")).bind(unr)),
nextStmt(returnStmt(optionally(hasReturnValue(expr().bind(val)))).bind(ret))),
{changeTo(node(unr), cat(makeUnreachableReturn,
";")), // TODO: why is the ; lost w/o this?
changeTo(node(ret), cat(""))},
cat("use ", makeUnreachableReturn))
);
where nextStmt() is copied from some upstream clang-tidy check's
private implementation and subStmt() is a private matcher that gives
access to SwitchCase's SubStmt.
A.k.a. qt-use-unreachable-return.
There were some false positives, suppressed them with NOLINTNEXTLINE.
They're not really false positiives, it's just that Clang sees the
world in one way and if conditonal compilation (#if) differs for other
compilers, Clang doesn't know better. This is an artifact of matching
two consecutive statements.
I haven't figured out how to remove the empty line left by the
deletion of the return statement, if it, indeed, was on a separate
line, so post-processed the patch to remove all the lines matching
^\+ *$ from the diff:
git commit -am meep
git reset --hard HEAD^
git diff HEAD..HEAD@{1} | sed '/^\+ *$/d' | recountdiff - | patch -p1
