Now that we have addressed the CAR/MMIO ROM copy issue (thanks Scott and Arne), I wanted to revisit the other change that Arne proposed for memset.
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.bios/57707 Some people didn't like the architecture specific code for memset. I don't have a problem with it, but it did bring up a few questions. 1. Why isn't gcc generating the rep stosb itself? This should be a standard optimization. 2. Why do we have functions for memset, memcpy, etc, when gcc has builtins that could be used? Is this a remnant from romcc? Marc -- http://se-eng.com -- coreboot mailing list: [email protected] http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
