That is what I meant "this case". So I guess I actually meant "that case"...
Anyway, in principle I think if this is performance critical it
should/"must" be addressed with something like builtin_expect.
Because at least gcc 4.3.1 create code that is maximally unfavourable
for the case that the source seems to prefer, namely with the
pc->frame_start_found conditional jump it jumps to the end of the
function where it does the i++ and then jumps back into the middle of
the function for the code after "found".
