-gerrit commit 6d4e71183f1238bc7e655122a5f733adc02e5088 Author: Mathias Krause <[email protected]> Date: Sat Mar 31 17:23:53 2012 +0200 Fix issues with x86 memcpy The x86 memcpy() implementation did not mention its implicit output registers ESI, EDI and ECX which might make this code miscompile when the compiler uses the value of EDI for the return value *after* the 'rep movsb' has completed. That would break the API of memcpy as this would return 'dst+len' instead of 'dst'. Fix this possible bug by removing the wrong comment and listing all output registers as such (using dummy stack variables that get optimized away). Also fix the prototype to match the one from <string.h>.
