The compiler can encode switch
statements using one of
several strategies. By default, the compiler chooses a strategy based on the
case
values that are used inside the switch
statement.
Each switch
statement is assigned its strategy independently.
The type of strategy can be indicated by using the #pragma
switch
directive (see The #pragma Switch Directive), which also lists the available
strategy types. There can be more than one strategy associated with each type.
There is information printed in the assembly list file for each
switch
statement detailing the value being switched and the case values
listed (see Switch Statement Information).
The compiler does not support case ranges when building for the C99 language standard.
