- Subject: A Query regarding jump pattern
Hello all,
I have read in the internals that indirect_jump and jump pattern are
necessary in any back-end for the compiler to be build and work
successfully. For any back-end there will be some limitation as to how
big the offset used in the jump instructions can be. If the offset is
too big then the indirect_jump pattern has to utilized. Now my
question is how will i be able to specify the limit of the offset so
the gcc generates indirect_jump pattern instead of the jump pattern? I
hope i am clear.
Thank you for your time.
Regards,
Shafi
