With today's processor's addressing ranges, you might even be able to compile the hash result into an exhaustive jump table, which was the intention of a case implementation. But you will _still_ have to provide a way to deal with hash code collisions,because you cannot avoid them with certainty. BTW, what you showed as an example before was _not_ a "hash table", it was a simple linear token list which had to be scanned for each call to determine the case index. Of course, you could have the compiler do that, there's no limit to what it can include automatically on behalf of the code writer. Depends solely on how much effort you're willing to put in it. -- -- (Weitergabe von Adressdaten, Telefonnummern u.ä. ohne Zustimmung nicht gestattet, ebenso Zusendung von Werbung oder ähnlichem) ----------------------------------------------------------- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, S.
