[Bug c++/25181] New: wrong "will never be executed" warning in switch - case block

[oliverst at online dot de]

The following code will report this:

C:\Dev-Cpp\Projects\test-stlport\main_18.cpp In function `int test_18()': 
13 C:\Dev-Cpp\Projects\test-stlport\main_18.cpp [Warning] will never be
executed 

extern int abort();

int test_18()
{
        int type;
        switch (type)
        {
        case 1:
                int ret = abort();
                if (ret != 0)
                        return 2;

                break;

        case 3:
                break;

        default:                        
                return 1;
        }

        return 0;
}
If you remove "case 3" or "default" the warning will go away.

I already reported something similar under bug 24968.
