MSVC seems to do better jump fusion than GCC.
Maybe I'm wrong, since I only take a look at dict, tuple and set C code,
but it does not seems to me that there's more than 1-2 GOTOs in every
CPython function, and they can't be merged.
There are vastly more jumps generated than what you see in the source
code. You'll need to compare assembly language to get a proper read on this.
But I don't think that's necessary, since processors do other kinds of
clever things with jumps anyway, that can variously improve/degrade
performance from what the compilers generate.
Benchmarks on consistent hardware are what matter, not speculation about
generated code.
Cheers,
