hoi guys!

so, thanks to Konstantinos Margaritis we got some pretty fast functions, which could replace the normal ones in glibc and others and speed up a wide range of programs.. but how to use them?
link programs explicitly against libfreevec?

so what about taking function calls to glibc functions Markos already optimized and redirect them to libfreevec, boosting all the progs using glibc?
shouldn't this be possible by modifying header files or something?
unfortunately, I got nearly no clue about this stuff, but maybe it's a idea someone could use or at tell me why not :wink:

well, gotta sleep, 5AM..
good night!

You can try to use ld.preload feature to globaly replace functions to freevec. I give a try to this idea some time ago without success almost all programs crashed after that :(

Probably your glibc and your freevec were not ABI compatible that time. If glibc ABI compatibility is not the goal of freevec project, then you will probably need to merge its implementation piece-by-piece back to your glibc.
Anyway, before going to do so, please search hard if anybody already did not do it. :-)
Cheers,
Karel
