Good catch, but this is indeed the code as generated with gcc -Os (for 
readability). It seems the compiler choose a JMP over a CALL (as the 
stack is untouched and the callee can immediately return to the caller).

Somehow, the compiler still emits a RET after the JMP (which is not 
supposed to return here) though. I agree this is unnecessarily confusing 
and can simply remove the RET from the commit message.

Best,
Jo
