May be having case statement problem.
App has case statement with 146 sequential labels.
They are in order, from a defined type.
The assembler output is scanning each label, where it seems a jump
would be more efficient.
This :)
case L3o3.FormType of
1 : begin <somecode1>
end
2 : begin <somecode2>
end
and so on.....
For the second case the assemmbler code seems ok to me, also L1051
L1052 L1053 looks like are different destinations. For the first,
well, it can be optimized "a bit" by hand, but note that it's
difficult to do in "automatic mode" by a compiler.
Was under the impression that doing a jump, offset by label number,
would be faster. Specially for such long case statements.
Jump by offset label number? I don't understand it.
