== QEMU ==
* Wrote the context routines for Eglibc, including those that QEMU uses
These pass all the context tests I could find, including QEMUs coroutine
tests, and with them QEMU seems to boot OK. I've got a full eglibc test
run going at the moment, but I don't think anything else uses
them. I posted
them with comments and a question to libc-ports; I'll try and chase follow
ups.
== String routines ==
* I posted the strchr and strlen routines to eglibc (libc-ports)
* On strchr the question of whether it was worth using the longer version
that's faster for longer strings (but slower for shorter strings) came
up. I posted
some stats, observations etc - and there is still a discussion on
going about it.
* For strlen, rth noted the same trick that I'd originally seen in newlib
(and for which RichardS and Ramana had suggested) of a quicker end-of-string
sequence using clz. I'd avoided this because I'd originally seen it
in newlib and
didn't want to copy it; but since 3 people have individually suggested it it
would seem using.
== Goodbye! ==
Thank you all for a fun & interesting year! I'm sure many of us
will meet online again in the future. I'll try and follow my
linaro.org address
while it's still live to check for any replies to any patches/comments etc.
Feel free to mail me at david...@uk.ibm.com (work) or d...@treblig.org (home);
for Linaro people I've also added some more contact methods at:

Thanks again!
Dave
