What maybe I should have noted in the commit message. This is a perfectly MFCable and much needed band-aid, which will later be extended to cover the rest of the loops and other primitives. There are several approaches which give better results but are also significantly more complicated to implement. Until a suitable approach is worked out and tested, the work here hopefully helps enough. -- Mateusz Guzik <mjguzik gmail.com> _______________________________________________ svn-src-head@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-head To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-head-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
