|    Switch statement code generation    |
|    03 Nov 09 08:01:56    |
      From: Pidgeot18@verizon.invalid              I'm trying to put together a list of various methods to do code generate       for switch statements.              This is what I have so far:       * Successive if/else branches       * Jump tables       * branch tables with linear and binary scans       * Clustering tables (e.g., if you have cases 0-100 and 300-400).              Are there any other methods worth mentioning?              --       Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not       tried it. -- Donald E.
