### New standard attributes
|
||||
C++17 introduces three new attributes: `[[fallthrough]]`, `[[nodiscard]]` and `[[maybe_unused]]`:
|
||||
```c++
|
||||
// Will warn if return of foo() is ignored
|
||||
[[nodiscard]] int foo();
|
||||
int main() {
|
||||
int a {1};
|
||||
switch (a) {
|
||||
// Indicates that falling through on case 1 is intentional
|
||||
case 1: [[fallthrough]]
|
||||
case 2:
|
||||
// Indicates that b might be unused, such as on production builds
|
||||
[[maybe_unused]] int b = foo();
|
||||
assert(b > 0);

break;
|
