# `no-jump-tables` | ||
|
||
The tracking issue for this feature is [#116592](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/116592) | ||
|
||
--- | ||
|
||
This option enables the `-fno-jump-tables` flag for LLVM, which makes the | ||
codegen backend avoid generating jump tables when lowering switches. | ||
|
||
This option adds the LLVM `no-jump-tables=true` attribute to every function. | ||
|
||
The option can be used to help provide protection against | ||
jump-oriented-programming (JOP) attacks, such as with the linux kernel's [IBT]. | ||
|
||
```sh | ||
RUSTFLAGS="-Zno-jump-tables" cargo +nightly build -Z build-std | ||
``` | ||
