ABSTRACT:
A method of translating computer source code into optimized object code. The computer source code contains a first label statement defining a first label, a second label statement defining a second label, a third label statement defining a third label, and a computed goto statement for instructing a computer to branch to the first label or to the second label, but not to the third label. The method includes generating a list of labels contained within at least a portion of the computer source code. The list of labels includes the first label and the second label, but not the third label. The method also includes translating the computer source code into an intermediate language. The translation of the computer source code includes translating the computed goto statement into an indirect goto statement within the intermediate language. The method also includes generating object code that includes the first label and the second label but does not include the third label.
