Hi Nikos,

We are interested in x86 for now. Are the jump tables for switch
statements stored inside the functions?

Probably not for you, but there are a few cases where they are. (Specifically when generating code for a 64-bit x86 Mach-O target, or a 32-bit x86 target on a system where the assembler does not support the GOTOFF relocation in data sections). You can easily compile a small test application to find out.

Cheers
  Nick
