FYI, this bug has bitten me in a different way: memcpy() copying backwards defeats the MADV_SEQUENTIAL flag to madvise(). A trivial file copier implementation (mmap source, mmap destination, set MADV_SEQUENTIAL, memcpy from source to destination) would perform much worse on machines that support SSSE3 than on machines that don't because of this bug.
(Before anyone tells me that I should copy files using read() and write(), my actual usage pattern was more complex, but the details are irrelevant.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/727064 Title: [Natty] Strange beeping sound when viewing flash video To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/glibc/+bug/727064/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
