title: Aligning jump table ops in FPC ASM
body: <p>I have a jump table something like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>jmp  rax
  
  @@table:
  jmp @@seg1
  jmp @@sge2
  jmp @@seg3
  ...
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This was working perfectly with the understanding that the jmp code is two bytes in length. I have subsequently added code to the @@seg? code segments, which is now causing a crash when jumping to "further away" code segments (labels).</p>
  
  <p>I'm concluding that the longer jumps are being encoded with a greater length than 2. Unfortunately the disassembler I use stops at the <code>jmp rax</code> line, so I can't confirm. But the conclusion is logical.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to cause the compiler to align the <code>jmp @@seg</code>? commands at say 4 bytes so that I have a guaranteed large enough and consistent size for the jump table? If so, I could ensure <code>rax</code> increments in 4s.</p>
  
  <p>I certainly don't want to start manually adding <code>nop</code>'s in an attempt to solve this.</p>
