Maybe code like below will be acceptable for > both optimizers and maintainers? we should just alias our memset to the __builtin one, and then provide a generic one from lib/ for the cases gcc needs to do a fallback. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
