--- Comment #17 from Jan Hubicka <hubicka at gcc dot gnu.org> 2011-08-24 14:20:29 UTC --- Hmm, I guess ideally the middle-end should know how to inline the simple loop (for both strlen and memcmp) and do so when object size is known to be small (probably by target specific value). Or does anyone think it is a bad idea? We could then make i386 backend to again inline the rep instruction and/or the new string extensions Honza
