Does Parasoft Static Analysis support

    It's not that any rules are noisy, but rather we are going to switch to C++17 standard and will be using [[fallthrough]] attribute instead of the comment, and we need C++Test to support it, specifically rule CODSTA-56-3 is gonna fail without such support:

    All 'case' and 'default' labels of 'switch' statement should have an explicit 'break' or a 'return'
    statement, or 'fall through' comment [CODSTA-56-3]
    DESCRIPTION
    All 'case' and 'default' labels of 'switch' statement should have:

    • an explicit unconditional 'break' or a 'return' statement or
    • at the end a 'fall through' comment containing "fall through" phrase
      (checked case insensitive).
