{AJ} glibc 2.1 has special string functions that are faster than the normal
library functions. Some of the functions are additionally implemented as
-inline functions and others as macros.

The optimized string functions are only used when compiling with
optimizations (-O1 or higher). The behavior can be changed with two feature

The specification of the function in the XPG standard is rather vague.
