From d840c5d139cfa50fbe4f6f67c178b0edf0c690c8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ron Yorston Date: Sun, 19 Jul 2015 23:05:20 +0200 Subject: libbb: add a function to make a copy of a region of memory Introduce a library routine to package the idiom: p = xmalloc(b, n); memcpy(p, b, n); and use it where possible. The example in traceroute used xzalloc but it didn't need to. function old new delta xmemdup - 32 +32 last_main 834 826 -8 make_device 2321 2311 -10 common_traceroute_main 3698 3685 -13 readtoken1 3182 3168 -14 procps_scan 1222 1206 -16 forkchild 655 638 -17 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (add/remove: 1/0 grow/shrink: 0/6 up/down: 32/-78) Total: -46 bytes Signed-off-by: Ron Yorston Signed-off-by: Denys Vlasenko --- include/libbb.h | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) (limited to 'include/libbb.h') diff --git a/include/libbb.h b/include/libbb.h index f0ac1f50d..54d01b75a 100644 --- a/include/libbb.h +++ b/include/libbb.h @@ -673,6 +673,7 @@ uint16_t inet_cksum(uint16_t *addr, int len) FAST_FUNC; char *xstrdup(const char *s) FAST_FUNC RETURNS_MALLOC; char *xstrndup(const char *s, int n) FAST_FUNC RETURNS_MALLOC; +void *xmemdup(const void *s, int n) FAST_FUNC RETURNS_MALLOC; void overlapping_strcpy(char *dst, const char *src) FAST_FUNC; char *safe_strncpy(char *dst, const char *src, size_t size) FAST_FUNC; char *strncpy_IFNAMSIZ(char *dst, const char *src) FAST_FUNC; -- cgit v1.2.3
