Improve performance of strcpy
Commit Message
Hi,
Similar to previous patches, this patch improves strcpy performance by using strlen+memcpy. This is
significantly faster than a simple byte-loop, on bench-strcpy speedup is > 2x.
ChangeLog:
2014-09-23 Wilco Dijkstra <wdijkstr@arm.com>
* string/strcpy.c (strcpy):
Improve performance by using strlen and memcpy.
