Description

On fat LTO, it seems like the jump table generation is not taken in effect, or rather taken too literally.

For thin LTO however, did seems to work.

Reported as of https://github.com/explodingcamera/tinywasm/pull/55#issuecomment-5493370260

rustc version: nightly 1.100.0

Research direction

Start by reproducing the tinywasm scenario referenced in PR #55 with nightly rustc 1.100.0, comparing fat LTO and thin LTO builds. Trace the jump-table generation path and establish the expected table size; done means fat LTO no longer causes the reported size explosion while thin LTO behavior remains intact.
