Whats the limit?
I'm using the rasionance C compiler.


The C standard (C89/90) requires that the implementation support at
least 257 labels in a switch statement. This is unlikely to be an
issue for an 8052. Your compiler's conformance to the C standard is
unfortunately a different issue, which you'll have to take up with the
vendor.
