Hello.
May I please ask a native speaker for a correction of my wording?
Thanks,

There is no "if" condition in your example, and I don't know what the
"index variable" is either.
"A series of conditional expressions that compare the same variable
can be transformed into a switch statement" seems to be what you want
to say.
I like the wording.

Do users know or care about GIMPLE? I'm unsure what "effectively
expanded as bit-test" means.
They don't care. I wanted to express that such transformation can lead in a
faster
code eventually. Do you have a suggesting for wording?

What does "effectively" mean here? It can have two slightly different
meanings in English, it can mean "doing a good job" or "not
officially, but in practice".
It means doing a good job :)
What about: "The GCOV data file format outputs smaller files as zero counters can be
represented in a compact way." ?
