ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE This invention permits an optimizing compiler to select optimal instruction sequences for handling the source level multi-way branch, commonly known as the case or switch statement. A costing heuristic is established, based on machine specific information, which weights the relative performance of instruction sequences used to perform statement selection from several available selection methods. The constants, which form the basis of the selection criteria, are then clustered into sets. This clustering is controlled by the costing heuristic. The resulting sets represent clusters of values for which a particular selection method is most appropriate. The invention is preferably implemented at the intermediate code level, and with appropriate preselection of parameters by the compiler builder, allows the invention to be used on any type of target machine. The use of the invention results in faster compilation and execution.
