What I really would be curious about is if in most D code,
you see a lot more default: break; than default: assert(0);
I just did a quick git-grep on the compiler source (not D, but
all switches do have a default thanks to the d port)
With 707 "default:"s 68 had a break on either the same or next
line, and 249 had an assert(0).
On phobos I get 22 assert(0)s vs 10 breaks with 147 defaults
With druntime i get 24 assert(0)s + 5 error();s vs 11 breaks
with 64 defaults.
Good data, but I was more thinking of people who use D, not the core
language. The core language's developers have different behaviors
than standard users. I'm not dismissing this data, but I would like
to see more application statistics.
In my little app:
17 default: break;
1 default: assert(0); ... and I just realised it should have been a
final switch() anyway... so now there's 0.
Did you put those "default: break;" because:
1. The compiler told it to do so.
2. You already know the compiler will tell you, so you put it before
that happens.
In the cases where it was "1.", did it make you think whether you needed
to handle the default case?
