New Revision: 187961
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/187961
Log:
Add a function attribute called `__malloc_like', which informs gcc
that the annotated function returns a pointer that doesn't alias any
extant pointer. This results in a 50%+ speedup in microbenchmarks such
as the following:
char *cp = malloc(1), *buf = malloc(BUF);
for (i = 0; i < BUF; i++) buf[i] = *cp;
In real programs, your mileage will vary. Note that gcc already
performs this optimization automatically for any function called
`malloc', `calloc', `strdup', or `strndup' unless -fno-builtins is
used.
