openwrt-owl/toolchain/gcc/patches/4.2.0/904-flatten-switch-stmt-00.patch

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.
