Actually, I'd consider the opposite. In assembler with something
like:
cmp ax,01
je @1
cmp ax,02
je @2
...etc, at least you know what the value is that is causing the
jump. With a jump table, you have to do some digging.
I'm still going to code jump tables, obviously, but the former is
easier to understand to someone looking at the code for the first time.
