Due to the size of the change, I would acknowledge it only if you have a proof that the reduced startup costs are noticable, for example, by running the test suite. What's the deal with bswap? Isn't it an unrelated change? It needs some better justification. It is unobvious because it is not straight-forward "use pointer to function that was looked up instead of function". Will the result not break the MSVC build? -- Hannes -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
