Missing default in switch

Since a switch statement without a default label is a perfectly legal
construct with well-defined semantics, presumably this would be at
most a warning, at least in conforming mode.  Compilers can issue
warnings for anything they want.  I don't know of any that warn about
this particular construct.  (In the case of gcc, you could of course
modify the sources to add such a warning yourself.)

Since this doesn't seem to be a standards question, I'll redirect
followups away from comp.std.c.
