No, there isn't; switching an integer value to cases labeled by constant
integer expressions is all there is.
You are probably looking at
#include <stdlib.h>
const char *sw(int x)
{
if (x & 1)
goto L1;
if (x & 2)
goto L2;
if (x & 4)
goto L4;
if (x & 8)
goto L8;
if (x & 16)
goto L16;
if (x & 32)
goto L32;
abort();
L1: return "one";
L2: return "two";
L4: return "four";
L8: return "eight";
L16: return "sixteen";
L32: return "thirty-two";
}
That might use "branch if bit set", if such a thing is available in the
target instruction set. There is every opportunity to use it since the
mask is a constant expression testing one bit.
