sym_is_choice(sym) has already been checked by previous if-block: if (sym_is_choice(sym) || (sym->flags & SYMBOL_NO_WRITE)) continue; Hence, the following code is redundant, and the comment is misleading: if (!sym_is_choice(sym)) continue; /* fall through */ It always takes 'continue', never falls though. Clean up the dead code.
