//
// When compiling switch statements in thumb mode, the compiler
// can use these __switch* helper functions  The compiler emits a blx to
// the __switch* function followed by a table of displacements for each
// case statement.  On entry, R0 is the index into the table. The __switch*
// function uses the return address in lr to find the start of the table.
// The first entry in the table is the count of the entries in the table.
// It then uses R0 to index into the table and get the displacement of the
// address to jump to.  If R0 is greater than the size of the table, it jumps
// to the last entry in the table. Each displacement in the table is actually
// the distance from lr to the label, thus making the tables PIC.

// The table contains signed byte sized elements which are 1/2 the distance
// from lr to the target label.
