It is only in a _lookupswitch_ that this becomes relevant. The above code will
generate a *tableswitch* so I think it is safe to simplify the code and remove
the DUMMY.
private V orThrowVolatile();
descriptor: ()Ljava/lang/Object;
flags: (0x0002) ACC_PRIVATE
Code:
stack=1, locals=1, args_size=1
0: aload_0
1: invokevirtual #15 // Method stateVolatile:()I
4: tableswitch { // 0 to 4
0: 40
1: 44
2: 46
3: 51
4: 56
default: 60
}
