Bootstrapped and tested on ... ?
I suppose this is ok, even ontop of my recent improvement (which
we noticed can be improved further by using memcmp instead of
strncmp). We seem to have at most seven-letter constraints at the moment
(rx port - they seem to use descriptive constraint names like "NEGint4" and
"Symbol" with only 10 constraints in total ...). I wonder where the cut-off
is for expanding the whole comparison to nested switch statements ...
or even expand the 2nd level to a switch on properly masked short /
int / long compares.
