As mentioned in the commit message, the comment helps in making it explicit and evident that the missing break is not a human miss, but intentional. Hence, the comment should be considered as being added for the human code readers / developers. So even if some static analysis tool flags such an issue, it can be fairly easy now to ignore that on manual inspection. If desired this can also be stated in the comment itself like - + // + // No break here as this is an intentional fall through. + // Ignore any static tool issue if pointed. + // Yes, there can be other solutions (which may or may not be worth the effort), but for now I went with the least code change approach.
