ChangeLog:
2013-12-16 Will Newton <will.newton@linaro.org>
* manual/memory.texi (Malloc Examples): Mention aligned_alloc.
(Aligned Memory Blocks): Add documentation for aligned_alloc
and suggest it as an alternative to posix_memalign.
(Hooks for Malloc): Document __memalign_hook is also called
for aligned_alloc. (Summary of Malloc): Add summary for
aligned alloc. Document __memalign_hook is also called
for aligned_alloc.
The current documentation suggests using memalign and valloc which
are now considered obsolete, so suggest using posix_memalign instead.
Also document the possible error return and errno values for memalign
and posix_memalign and improve documentation of __memalign_hook.
ChangeLog:
2013-12-16 Will Newton <will.newton@linaro.org>
* manual/memory.texi (Malloc Examples): Clarify default
alignment documentation. Suggest posix_memalign rather
than memalign or valloc.
(Aligned Memory Blocks): Remove suggestion to use memalign
or valloc. Remove obsolete comment about BSD.
Document memalign errno values and mark the function obsolete.
Document posix_memalign returned error codes. Mark valloc
as obsolete. (Hooks for Malloc): __memalign_hook is also
called for posix_memalign and valloc.
(Summary of Malloc): Add posix_memalign to function summary.
__memalign_hook is also called for posix_memalign and valloc.
- Remove redundant mynumber union definitions
- Clean up a clumsy ternary operator
- Rename TAYLOR_SINCOS to TAYLOR_SIN since we're only expanding the
sin Taylor series in it.
Autoconf is tested for and run if needed only when --enable-maintainer-mode
is used on configure. This results in the autom4te.cache directory only
being written in the source directory during configure if automatic
autoconf usage is requested.
Fixes BZ #14120.
A sse42 version of strstr used pcmpistr instruction which is quite
ineffective. A faster way is look for pairs of characters which is uses
sse2, is faster than pcmpistr and for real strings a pairs we look for
are relatively rare.
For linear time complexity we use buy or rent technique which switches
to two-way algorithm when superlinear behaviour is detected.
For PPC64, all the wrappers at sysdeps are superfluous: they are
basically the same implementation from math/w_sqrt.c with the
'#ifdef _IEEE_LIBM'. And the power4 version just force the 'fsqrt'
instruction utilization with an inline assembly, which is already
handled by math_private.h __ieee754_sqrt implementation.
