I wanted to present you a new plugin today. It was about switch idioms (jump tables). I spent a few hours trying to find a problematic x86 sample file but could not locate anything impressive. All jump tables were nicely recognized. This certainly does not mean that IDA handles them perfectly, but rather that my search methods must be improved.

Anyway, things were going nowhere and I decided to make a micro-break. It really helps to unblock the thought process  (sometimes my entire working day consists of innumerable micro-breaks :)
