Summary0002536: Build failure with GCC 7.1 due to implicit-fallthrough
DescriptionBuilding with GCC 7.1 fails due to the newly-added implicit-fallthrough feature. Some case statements in libcss's parser have a "Fall through" comment but are inside an additional set of braces, which prevents GCC's comment detection working and triggers a warning, which causes the build to fail. An example of this is seen at http://git.netsurf-browser.org/libcss.git/tree/src/parse/parse.c#n2094.

https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Warning-Options.html describes the new behavior.

I have attached a patch which fixes this issue by removing the braces.
Steps To ReproduceAttempt to build libcss using GCC 7.1

    Subject: [PATCH] Remove extra braces to fix build with gcc 7
    
    GCC 7.1 warns on "implicit fallthrough" in case statements.
    To avoid false positives it will attempt to match comments directly
    before the fall through in question, and if any match some form of "fall
    through" the fall through is ignored.
    For this particular instance extra braces prevent the comment being
    recognized, as the following line is not a label or a new case; remove
    the excess braces to let GCC recognize the comments.
