It seems two of the file system drivers we have in the tree, namely ufs and ext3, use a function called `skpc()'. The meaning of this function does not seem to be documented in FreeBSD, but it turns out one needs to be a VAX programmer to understand what it does. SPKC is an instruction on the VAX that does the opposite of memchr(). It searches for the non-equal character. Add a new function called memcchr() to the tree that has the following advantages over skpc(): - It has a name that makes more sense than skpc(). Just like strcspn() matches the complement of strspn(), memcchr() is the complement of memchr(). - It is faster than skpc(). Similar to our strlen() in libc, it compares entire words, instead of single bytes. It seems that for this routine this yields a sixfold performance increase on amd64. - It has a man page. |
