# fjump-tables

Determines whether jump tables are generated for switch statements.

## Syntax

Linux: | -fjump-tables -fno-jump-tables

Windows: | None

## Arguments

None

## Default

-fjump-tables | The compiler may use jump tables for switch statements.

## Description

This option determines whether jump tables are generated for switch statements.

Option -fno-jump-tables prevents the compiler from generating jump tables for switch statements. This action is performed unconditionally and independent of any generated code performance consideration.

Option -fno-jump-tables also prevents the compiler from creating switch statements internally as a result of optimizations.

Use -fno-jump-tables with -fpic when compiling objects that will be loaded in a way where the jump table relocation cannot be resolved.

## IDE Equivalent
