Is there a way to tell GCC stop complaining about this? In some more
advanced cases with return()'s, GCC misses the return and think
it might not happen. Consider this:

...
switch(val)
 { case 1: return(2);
   case 2: return(3);
   default: return(5);
 }
}

I'm not sure but I think this is one of the codesnippets that fool's GCC.
The
solution for removing the complaint is a dummy-return in the end but this
bothers me. Is there a nicer general solution? (yes, the above can easily be
solved by moving the default).

TIA
