Georg-Johann Lay <gjl at gcc dot gnu.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Target|avr |avr,x86_64 --- Comment #2 from Georg-Johann Lay <gjl at gcc dot gnu.org> --- Similar on x86_64: $ gcc-8 cswtch.c -Os -c && size -A cswtch.o cswtch.o : section size addr .text 20 0 .rodata 200 0 [snipped irrelevant sections] $ gcc-8 cswtch.c -Os -c -fno-tree-switch-conversion && size -A cswtch.o cswtch.o : section size addr .text 35 0 So it grows by a factor of > 5 there.
