I think that the calls to write formatted strings (which end up as calls to appendfv()) are necessary. My patch just saves appendfv() from making a malloc call for a small, fixed size chunk of memory each time that it is called. In the test file, all of the calls have 8 arguments or less, and appendfv() never needs to reallocate the argument buffer.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
