Yes, this is crucial. A compiler cannot generate a jump table of O(1) for

dense labels. The BPF_S_* translation was done to convert to a dense label

construct. So this "optimization" is a no-go.



Look at the log and read my comment for a detailed explanation.



Anyway: "code--" increments the _copied_ value, not the value in the

evaluated opcode itself. I will validate the patch!
