Subject: support switch case in the generator
X-Git-Url: http://git.demorecorder.com/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=355d4d6ab9f5c12c2ee4a91e8cf6eb4a2854d73c;hp=355d4d6ab9f5c12c2ee4a91e8cf6eb4a2854d73c;p=free-sw%2Fxcb%2Flibxcb

support switch case in the generator

The implementation is rather simple:
When a <case> is used instead of a <bitcase>
then operator "==" is used instead of "&" in the if-condition.

So it creates a series of "if" statements
(instead of a switch-case statement in C )

In practice this does not matter because a good
optimizing compiler will create the same code
as for a switch-case.

With this simple implementation we get additional
flexibility in the following forms:
* a case value may appear in multiple case branches.
  for example:
	case C1 will be selected by values 1, 4, or 5
	case C2 will be selected by values 3, 4, or 7

* mixing of bitcase and case is possible
	(this will usually make no sense but there may
	be protocol specs where this is needed)

details of the impl:
* replaced "is_bitcase" with "is_case_or_bitcase" in all places
  so that cases are treated like bitcases.

* In function "_c_serialize_helper_switch": write operator "=="
  instead of operator "&" if it is a case.
