Tell me how front() will be optimized out to this.

             case '>':
                 p++;
                 if (*p == '=')
                 {   p++;
                     t->value = TOKge;                   // >=
                 }
                 else if (*p == '>')
                 {   p++;
                     if (*p == '=')
                     {   p++;
                         t->value = TOKshrass;           // >>=
                     }
