Root/toolchain/gcc/patches/4.2.4/904-flatten-switch-stmt-00.patch

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

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.

17Not regtested so far.
18Comments?
