2019-02-01Introduce O3TL_UNREACHABLE as a better alternative to assert(false)Stephan Bergmann
The code in sw/source/core/fields/reffld.cxx had turned into whack-a-mole: MSVC needed the unreachable default:assert(false); to fall through to init some vars to avoid C4701 ("potentially uninitialized local variable"). But Clang (with !NDEBUG, and an implementation of assert marked as noreturn) reported that as "fallthrough annotation in unreachable code", requiring the #ifdef NDEBUG guards to be added. And now clang-cl (also with !NDEBUG, but with the MSVC implementation of assert apparently not marked as noreturn) complained about "unannotated fall-through between switch labels", which wold require the #ifdef NDEBUG guards to be removed again. O3TL_UNREACHABLE (inspired by LLVM's llvm_unreachable and underyling LLVM_BUILTIN_UNREACHABLE) hopefully improves on that for all compilers involved. For non-MSVC (i.e., Clang or GCC) it assumes that __builtin_unreachable is supported (which it is at least for GCC 7, which is our current baseline per README.md).
