I don't think anyone is suggesting 3 unique implementations. The obsolescent name bcmp would be aliased to either __memcmpeq or memcmp (depending on whether there are concerns about existing binaries depending on bcmp acting like memcmp). (And __memcmpeq and memcmp would be aliases on architectures without a separate optimized __memcmpeq.) -- Joseph S. Myers jos...@codesourcery.com
