Subject: Jump table alignment (2.95.2 versus 3.2.3)
Date: Thu, 30 Dec 2004 18:32:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <6.2.0.14.0.20041230182947.01c7d1d0@mail.e7even.com> (raw)

Hello,

I have recently 'upgraded' to 3.2.3 from 2.95.2 (MinGW version)
and I am trying to get it to produce code no larger than its
predecessor.  Even with the -Os option it is still generating
object modules somewhat larger than before, and close examination
shows that this is because jump table (dispatch table) entries
are now aligned on 16-byte boundaries rather than 4-bytes with
2.95.2. With large tables this wastes quite a lot of space.

Is there an option which will force gcc 3.2.3 to use 4-byte or
8-byte alignment for jump table entries ?

Richard.
