Switch expression with void return type

Is there any way to force an exhaustive check of all enum values when the switch branches call methods with void return type? It's quite ugly to hard-code a yield just to coax the compiler to demand exhaustiveness.

This is my current pattern (the handle methods have void return type)

int unused = switch (event.getEventType()) {
    case ORDER   -> { handle((OrderEvent) event); yield 0; }
    case INVOICE -> { handle((InvoiceEvent) event); yield 0; }
    case PAYMENT -> { handle((PaymentEvent) event); yield 0; }
};

The reason I want to use an expression is to get a compilation error when a new enum value is added and is not handled.

Maybe yield a Consumer of Event, so you yield something useful, the trade off is one more line for consumer.accept.

Consumer<Event> consumer = switch (event.getEventType()) {
    case ORDER -> e -> handle((OrderEvent) e);
    case INVOICE -> e -> handle((InvoiceEvent) e);
    case PAYMENT -> e -> handle((PaymentEvent) e);
};
consumer.accept(event);

Continue if you concern performance

Based on the comment concerning performance penalty, a benchmark is performed to compare following scenarios:

1. Using consumer and handle is instance method
2. Using consumer and handle is static method
3. Not using consumer and handle is instance method
4. Not using consumer and handle is static method

To see

• Is using Consumer has large performance impact?
• Is there any difference for static and instance handle method?

And the result is:

# Run complete. Total time: 00:20:30

Benchmark                                          Mode  Cnt      Score     Error   Units
SwitchExpressionBenchMark.consumerHandle          thrpt  300  49343.496 ±  91.324  ops/ms
SwitchExpressionBenchMark.consumerStaticHandle    thrpt  300  49312.273 ± 112.630  ops/ms
SwitchExpressionBenchMark.noConsumerHandle        thrpt  300  49353.232 ± 106.522  ops/ms
SwitchExpressionBenchMark.noConsumerStaticHandle  thrpt  300  49496.614 ± 122.916  ops/ms

By observing the result, there is no much different between the 4 scenarios.

• Using Consumer does not have significant performance impact.
• The performance different between static and instance handle method is neglectable.
