Perhaps I was unclear. I am asking that you point out to me in the gcc
documentation where it comments regarding code generation for
switch-statements, and that it might make clear that the lexographic "top-down"
approach nor the default label are preferred but other, more complex heuristics
are used that defeat static branch-prediction analysis. I do not think this is
unreasonable. So I disagree entirely that this is invalid.
