In the C function that follows, we have omitted the body of the switch statement. In the C code, the case labels did not span a contiguous range, and some cases had multiple labels.

void switch$($short x$,$ short $*$dest$)\{$

short val $=0$;

switch $($x$)\{$

$.$

$.$

Body of switch statement omitted

$\}$

$*$dest $=$ val;

$\}$

In compiling the function, gcc generates the assembly code that follows for the initial part of the procedure, with variable x in $\%$rdi:

; void switch$($short x$,$ short $*$dest$)$

; x in $\%$rdi

switch:

addq $$2,\%$rdi

cmpq $$8,\%$rdi

ja $.$L$2$

jmp $*.$L$4(,\%$rdi, $8)$
