this change was suggested based on testing done by Timo Teräs almost two years ago; the branch (and probably call prep overhead) in the inner loop was found to contribute noticably to total symbol lookup time. this change will make lookup slightly slower if libraries were built with only the traditional "sysv" ELF hash table, but based on how much slower lookup tends to be without the gnu hash table, it seems reasonable to assume that (1) users building without gnu hash don't care about dynamic linking performance, and (2) the extra time spent computing the gnu hash is likely to be dominated by the slowness of the sysv hash table lookup anyway. |

musl libc musl, pronounced like the word "mussel", is an MIT-licensed implementation of the standard C library targetting the Linux syscall API, suitable for use in a wide range of deployment environments. musl offers efficient static and dynamic linking support, lightweight code and low runtime overhead, strong fail-safe guarantees under correct usage, and correctness in the sense of standards conformance and safety. musl is built on the principle that these goals are best achieved through simple code that is easy to understand and maintain. The 1.1 release series for musl features coverage for all interfaces defined in ISO C99 and POSIX 2008 base, along with a number of non-standardized interfaces for compatibility with Linux, BSD, and glibc functionality. For basic installation instructions, see the included INSTALL file. Information on full musl-targeted compiler toolchains, system bootstrapping, and Linux distributions built on musl can be found on the project website: http://www.musl-libc.org/
