FriendFeedswitch Statement Performance Consideration
Here is an example of a switch statement:
switch( parameter )
{
case 1: { ... } ; break;
case 2: { ... } ; break;
case 3: { ... } ; break;
......
default: { ... } ; break;
}
If one looks at the assembly code generated for this, one notices that there are two portions:
Portion 1:
contains a list of compares and jumps for each of the cases listed within the switch statement.
Portion 2:
Contains code that implements each of the cases.
The list in portion one is something like:
Note that, the list is in the order in which the cases have been listed.
Looking at this, it is a better idea to have cases that have more chances of occurence to be put in the beginning than at the end so that, they don't have to go through unnecessary comparisons. This is mostly applicable where the switch statements are present in function bodies which are called often, for example, Window procedures, call back function etc. In such cases, cases which could happen often , like WM_PAINT, WM_MOUSEmessages, WM_KEYDOWN etc can be pushed up in the order.
It certainly cannot be used when fall through is used for certain cases, but, in a general sense, it surely is a good programming practice.
