Well, with that we'd be wandering off far into libc land. While this kind of optimization is nice, I wouldn't really want to have strspn code for 40 platforms in gcc to maintain (and if you're that desperate for speed, you want platform-specific code). Alternatively, you could try to convince your libc providers to include such functions in their libc, and then we might implement calling them. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19652
