specified by including a Makefile.inc from the appropriate MD directory.
stdlib doesn't do that, but there's no reason that it shouldn't (and
it'd be nice to eliminate the 'if's from the MI stdlib Makefile.inc).
68040 and 68060 owners.
With ``make M68040=1'' or ``make M68060=1'', we build a libc where the ldexp()
doesn't use excessive amounts of system cpu time.
Without any of those defines, the normal assembler version using FSCALE is
included, for the benefit of M68020 and M68030 users, or M68040/M68060 users
where the ldexp performance is no bottleneck.
[Its not yet worked out how to include both library versions in a binary
distribution, but you can build your own from source now if you need it.]
For details, look at PR 3105.
This code uses subb instead of cmpb to compare chars. When they are
not equal, the function's return value is computed by sign extending
the difference. The basic idea was contributed by Hiroshi Horitomo
<horimoto@cs-aoi.cs.sist.ac.jp> in PR #3223, but his implementation
used additional instructions to compute the return value.
Also, the series of insns used to compare one pair of characters has
been unrolled 4 times. This helps the 680[23]0, where the cost of a
taken branch is significantly more than that of a not-taken branch.
The implementation of these functions is losely based on the original
BSD code plus versions I was working on which would yeild code tuned
for a particular m68k or coldfire family cpu, code space or run time
efficiency, etc. depending on the values of various macros.
My original code was intended for use in OS-less embedded systems.
Because NetBSD can not benefit from the considerable complexity, I've
removed the extraneous preprocessor goop. The resulting code is tuned
for the '020 - '060. It will not function on the '000 or coldfire.
faster) byte-displacement form of the instruction if the offset will
fit. This happens to be all occurances in this case, so I could have
used bCCs. However, a quick survey of the rest of NetBSD's m68k code
showed that jCC was used in similar cases. I did the same to be
consistant.
for the address of a variable used to store the error number instead
of writing to the global errno.
In a multi-threaded program, __errno() will return a pointer to a
thread-specific variable.
SYSTRAP(x): Expands to the code used to call syscall x.
This is used to simplify other macros.
SYSCALL_NOERROR(x): Like SYSCALL except that "x" is a syscall
that can never fail.
RSYSCALL_NOERROR(x): Like RSYSCALL except that "x" is a syscall
that can never fail.
