Attached is an updated patch along these lines. Please let me
know if it matches your expectations.
I think you attached the wrong patch.
Yes I did, sorry. The correct one is attached.
Under POSIX.1-2008 "optimizing" bzero or bcmp is IMO plain wrong.
It's like optimizing foo() to a random built-in but maybe that's just
me. If your libc provides a define to a standard function for these
under a compat knob then fine but otherwise you should fix that.
*shrug*. Joseph?
The patch optimizes __builtin_bzero, which should be ok. The question
(independent from this patch) is then under what conditions bzero should
be detected as a builtin.
