 /*
+ * Helper macro to throw a compilation error if __bpf_unreachable() gets
+ * built into the resulting code. This works given BPF back end does not
+ * implement __builtin_trap(). This is useful to assert that certain paths
+ * of the program code are never used and hence eliminated by the compiler.
+ *
+ * For example, consider a switch statement that covers known cases used by
+ * the program. __bpf_unreachable() can then reside in the default case. If
+ * the program gets extended such that a case is not covered in the switch
+ * statement, then it will throw a build error due to the default case not
+ * being compiled out.
