From 44829b3ddb64e99e37343a0f25b2c082387d31a5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Noah Goldstein Date: Thu, 21 Oct 2021 15:54:57 -0500 Subject: String: Add support for __memcmpeq() ABI on all targets No bug. This commit adds support for __memcmpeq() as a new ABI for all targets. In this commit __memcmpeq() is implemented only as an alias to the corresponding targets memcmp() implementation. __memcmpeq() is added as a new symbol starting with GLIBC_2.35 and defined in string.h with comments explaining its behavior. Basic tests that it is callable and works where added in string/tester.c As discussed in the proposal "Add new ABI '__memcmpeq()' to libc" __memcmpeq() is essentially a reserved namespace for bcmp(). The means is shares the same specifications as memcmp() except the return value for non-equal byte sequences is any non-zero value. This is less strict than memcmp()'s return value specification and can be better optimized when a boolean return is all that is needed. __memcmpeq() is meant to only be called by compilers if they can prove that the return value of a memcmp() call is only used for its boolean value. All tests in string/tester.c passed. As well build succeeds on x86_64-linux-gnu target. --- sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/aarch64/libc.abilist | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) (limited to 'sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/aarch64') diff --git a/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/aarch64/libc.abilist b/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/aarch64/libc.abilist index 21a2e50..f227ae6 100644 --- a/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/aarch64/libc.abilist +++ b/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/aarch64/libc.abilist @@ -2612,3 +2612,4 @@ GLIBC_2.34 tss_create F GLIBC_2.34 tss_delete F GLIBC_2.34 tss_get F GLIBC_2.34 tss_set F +GLIBC_2.35 __memcmpeq F -- cgit v1.1
