From d8f2efa708a027132d443f45a8c98a0c7c1b2d77 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rich Felker Date: Wed, 17 Oct 2018 23:57:28 -0400 Subject: bypass indirection through pointer objects to access stdin/out/err by ABI, the public stdin/out/err macros use extern pointer objects, and this is necessary to avoid copy relocations that would be expensive and make the size of the FILE structure part of the ABI. however, internally it makes sense to access the underlying FILE objects directly. this avoids both an indirection through the GOT to find the address of the stdin/out/err pointer objects (which can't be computed PC-relative because they may have been moved to the main program by copy relocations) and an indirection through the resulting pointer object. in most places this is just a minor optimization, but in the case of getchar and putchar (and the unlocked versions thereof), ipa constant propagation makes all accesses to members of stdin/out PC-relative or GOT-relative, possibly reducing register pressure as well. --- src/stdio/stderr.c | 8 +++++--- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) (limited to 'src/stdio/stderr.c') diff --git a/src/stdio/stderr.c b/src/stdio/stderr.c index 229c8651..f2bc4648 100644 --- a/src/stdio/stderr.c +++ b/src/stdio/stderr.c @@ -1,7 +1,9 @@ #include "stdio_impl.h" +#undef stderr + static unsigned char buf[UNGET]; -static FILE f = { +hidden FILE __stderr_FILE = { .buf = buf+UNGET, .buf_size = 0, .fd = 2, @@ -12,5 +14,5 @@ static FILE f = { .close = __stdio_close, .lock = -1, }; -FILE *const stderr = &f; -FILE *volatile __stderr_used = &f; +FILE *const stderr = &__stderr_FILE; +FILE *volatile __stderr_used = &__stderr_FILE; -- cgit v1.2.1
