Agreed. >That way we don't need to distinguish and it will always work. >The downside is some small overhead for every syscall, but I >think this is neglectable. I think this is a good solution. Squeezing every last instruction out is something for active projects with large manpower or something. >Maybe you can apply it? Uploaded, thanks. >(btw, upstream dietlibc is dead?) dead-ish, but in general, unresponsive to requests to apply the patches we have in Debian; I tried to reach out multiple times over the years since 2011 and never got a response. Our entire ARM support totally differs from upstream’s by now even… 🙀 however it works, so I’ve not switched to the latter. I think, by now, it’s mostly on life support but works good enough to justify not throwing it away. bye, //mirabilos -- [...] if maybe ext3fs wasn't a better pick, or jfs, or maybe reiserfs, oh but what about xfs, and if only i had waited until reiser4 was ready... in the be- ginning, there was ffs, and in the middle, there was ffs, and at the end, there was still ffs, and the sys admins knew it was good. :) -- Ted Unangst über *fs
