+// 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.
