toolchain/gcc/patches/4.2.3/904-flatten-switch-stmt-00.patch

   1 Hi,
   2
   3 The attached patch makes sure that we create smaller object code for
   4 simple switch statements. We just make sure to flatten the switch
   5 statement into an if-else chain, basically.
   6
   7 This fixes a size-regression as compared to gcc-3.4, as can be seen
   8 below.

  12         * stmt.c (expand_case): Do not create a complex binary tree when
  13         optimizing for size but rather use the simple ordered list.
  14         (emit_case_nodes): do not emit jumps to the default_label when
  15         optimizing for size.

  17 Not regtested so far.
