Hi folks, many specific cases of standard library function calls, eg. snprintf (buf, sizeof(buf), "%s%s", a, b) could be optimized to a few assembler lines, since in those cases the compiler knows exactly whats happening here. Does gcc yet support such optimizations ? If not, how could it be implemented ? cu -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt == metux IT service - http://www.metux.de/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please visit the OpenSource QM Taskforce: http://wiki.metux.de/public/OpenSource_QM_Taskforce Patches / Fixes for a lot dozens of packages in dozens of versions: http://patches.metux.de/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
