[Bug libc/250] New: perfomance of elf/do-lookup.h for c++

["Woebbeking at web dot de" <sourceware-bugzilla at sources dot redhat dot com>]

Hi, 
 
last year the KDE hackers improved the speed of the GNU linker for c++ 
programs. One part of the patch reimplemented the symbol lookup. As c++ symbols 
are very long (specifically for STL and BOOST code) and don't differ in the 
beginning the idea was just to compare from right to left. 
 
I'm not sure how glibc handles this but a short look to do-lookup.h (glibc 
2.3.2) shows me the use of strcmp(). Could a variant of the binutils patch 
applied here too? 
 
 
Cheers, 
André
