It is either a macro or waiting for 5+ years (while we keep using the comment style) :-) In case it helps to make one's mind about whether to go for it or not, I summarized the advantages and a few other details in the patch I sent in October: https://github.com/ojeda/linux/commit/668f011a2706ea555987e263f609a5deba9c7fc4 It would be nice, however, to discuss whether we want __fallthrough or fallthrough. The former is consistent with the rest of compiler attributes and makes it clear it is not a keyword, the latter is consistent with "break", "goto" and "return", as Joe's patch explains.
