Glibc 2.27 Is Being Released Soon With Numerous Performance Optimizations

[Hi-Angel]

Anyone knows which of the "Agner Fog's GLIBC Wishlist" (https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/AgnerWishlist) items are still pending implementation?


Context: Ten years ago, Agner Fog wrote in the libc mailing lists (https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-help/.../msg00000.html and https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-help/.../msg00007.html) about how the libc's memory allocation and string functions could be greatly improved by making use of SIMD instructions.

I'd assume most if not everything. FYI GCC may inline calls to memcpy and such, so the glibc's implementation won't even get called. You might get better luck on getting details by asking in #glibc channel on Freenode though.
