All,


Working out the best set of algorithms to use for mapping
switch statements to machine code obviously requires
information on switch statement usage in real code.


The latest issue of CVu, the magazine of he ACCU
www.accu.org, has an article by yours truely comparing
the usage of switch statements and nested if-else-if sequences
in C code.


You need to be an ACCU member to access the article (yearly
membership #25 or #35 if you want both magazines). I will
make a pdf freely available in a month or so.


While I'm talking about stuff I have written, switch statement code
generation gets a mention in this:
