The latest release of GCC (GCC 6) includes a new warning: -Wmisleading-indentation.
This feature was added in December last year.

David Malcolm, the Red Hat developer who contributed the feature, motivated
partly by the "goto fail" fault in SSL checking, has a blog post on the
warning:

David A. Wheeler's paper "The Apple goto fail vulnerability: lessons learned" at:

        http://www.dwheeler.com/essays/apple-goto-fail.html

also suggests this warning as one of the things that could help serve as a
countermeasure to pick up this defect.
