Upstream-Status: Pending
Hi,
The attached patch makes sure that we create smaller object code for
simple switch statements. We just make sure to flatten the switch
statement into an if-else chain, basically.
This fixes a size-regression as compared to gcc-3.4, as can be seen
below.
2007-04-15 Bernhard Fischer <..>
* stmt.c (expand_case): Do not create a complex binary tree when
optimizing for size but rather use the simple ordered list.
(emit_case_nodes): do not emit jumps to the default_label when
optimizing for size.
Not regtested so far.
Comments?
Attached is the test switch.c mentioned below.
