[issue7593] Computed-goto patch for RE engine

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr> added the comment:

You should disassemble the output (or produce assembler from gcc) and check that the various indirect jumps at the end of each case block don't get merged into a single shared indirect jump.

Or perhaps it's simply that regular expression matching isn't really sensitive to bytecode dispatch overhead.
