22.2.9 Function unreachable [utility.unreachable]

[[noreturn]] void unreachable();
Preconditions: false is true.
[Note 1: 
This precondition cannot be satisfied, thus the behavior of calling unreachable is undefined.
— end note]
[Example 1: int f(int x) { switch (x) { case 0: case 1: return x; default: std::unreachable(); } } int a = f(1); // OK, a has value 1 int b = f(3); // undefined behavior — end example]
