--6nIn9DQvaie41cmo Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hello, Not entirely related to this topic, but looking at the standards, it seems we don't implement posix_fadvise() either. It seems we could implement this as a no-op for now. It has no real advantage if we do, but say, one day we gain real posix_fadvise() support, we already have a bunch of binaries that have these performance optimisations compiled in. Any comments? --=20 Ed Schouten <ed@80386.nl> WWW: http://80386.nl/ --6nIn9DQvaie41cmo Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkkR5bMACgkQ52SDGA2eCwWuKACdEF+wxaoSlo/9s+aLEj5xygl4 T2QAnRF1Yeab4JjnqnWCLQkh0Cj7qOeV =SDZZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --6nIn9DQvaie41cmo--
