* builtins.c (expand_builtin_memcmp): Do not use cmpstrnsi pattern.
* doc/md.texi (cmpstrn): Note that the comparison stops if both
fetched bytes are zero.
(cmpstr): Likewise.
(cmpmem): Note that the comparison does not stop if both of the
fetched bytes are zero.
we no longer expand memcmp inline as x86 does not have a cmpmemsi pattern.
Testcase:
int foo(char *s, char *q)
{
return memcmp (s, q, 4);
}
the 1-size case is folded to *s == *q.
This is now a regression, we have to do _something_ about it for 4.7,
at least for constant small sizes.
