------- Comment #15 from paolo dot carlini at oracle dot com 2010-09-09 09:25 ------- If you write a patch it would be of course looked at. But *please* try first something that doesn't break the ABI, because we have *no* idea when you changes would be applied otherwise. About the *_unlocked functions, we know those glibc extensions exist, but, as far as I can see would only change the complexity by a not so so small multiplicative constant and, after years and years of using everywhere the normal versions, I don't believe we should change just now the configuration on Linux only. But, as I said, provided you don't break the ABI (to be concrete) and the improvements are substantive, you are certainly welcome to submit patches to the libstdc++ mailing list. Thanks.
