I think LLVM's jump table pass requires explicit function annotations
in the IR for functions that should go via the table, which Clang
doesn't create. Something like this in its simplest form:

define void @foo() unnamed_addr jumptable {
  ret void
}

define void @main() {
  %var = alloca void()*
  store void()* @foo, void()** %var
  %func = load void()** %var
  call void %func()
  ret void
}

Cheers.

Tim.
