You all are right. 
Right now, I realized the gcc warning can also be suppressed by a simple line
of comment:

/* fallthrough */

It looks gcc treats this comment specially. 

If I add something more in the comment, like
/* add fallthrough */
, the warning can not be suppressed. :-)

I'll do a new version for KY.

Thank you all!
