bug#25941: 26.0.50; Different code behavior between using the auto-compiled and evaled versions

[Kaushal Modi]

Hi Vibhav, 

This issue seems to be related to the switch bytecode change.

Can you please review it.

The code snippet in https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=25941#5 returns t on emacs 25.2 but nil on emacs master. That is messing up the avy-goto-line function (avy package).

avy--process does contain the cond form which is affected by the switch bytecode change.

If I delete the .elc, the issue goes away.

Here's a set of updates that could probably help trace the problem:

- I rebuilt emacs from master using make bootstrap, but the problem persists.

- I see the problem when I do "M-x avy-goto-line 10" but not when I do "M-: (avy-goto-line 10)". So the bug triggers only during interactive execution?

A workaround for now is to delete the avy.elc file.

Does the avy--process code not work well with the recently byte compiler incompatibility in the master branch?
