alpha.core.UnreachableCode - don't warn about unreachable code inside macro

[danielmarjamaki]

Summary

This patch fixes false positives for such code:

#define RETURN(X)  do { return; } while (0)

void dostuff(void) {
  RETURN(1); // no-warning
}

The condition "0" in the macro is unreachable but that condition is there for a good reason.

We should pattern match for this specific macro pattern (ex: do{...}while(0) ) instead of suppressing all warnings coming from macros. Maybe we could use the same heuristic as -Wunreachable-code-return compiler warning?

[danielmarjamaki]

make pattern to avoid warnings more specific

LGTM. Thank you!
