I guess you'd do:
#include<string.h>
__attribute__((no_plt)) typeof (memcpy) memcpy;
int main() {
int n = memcmp(....);
}
or even:
#include<string.h>
int main() {
if (hotpath) {
__attribute__((no_plt)) typeof (memcpy) memcpy;
for (..) {
int n = memcmp(....);
}
} else {
int n = memcmp(....);
}
}
or globally:
$ cat no-plt/string.h:
#include_next <string.h>
__attribute__((no_plt)) typeof (memcpy) memcpy;
$ gcc -I no-plt/ ...
Thanks,
Pedro Alves
