C strings are used extensively in C++. Again you prove how inexperienced you are.

You can try to be patronizing if you want, but this doesn't make sense with you not understanding memory access patterns. If someone uses C++ they will use C++ strings. Have you used C++? It works well and it has been around for 40 years, you should give it a try.

Keep deflecting with bullshit that is irrelevant to the choice of library, and that can't be changed but for massive refactoring.

You painting yourself into a corner has nothing to do with a C library being a few percentage points slower. This is not a general scenario, it's something you are dealing with because you can't optimize C strings.

If you think memory access patterns are 'bullshit' you haven't done much optimization. That's everything in modern optimization.

If there is an expert somewhere around you, please talk to them so you can get up to speed on modern optimization. Minimizing allocations is table stakes, memory access is the meat.

If you have any examples on github of things you think "can't" be optimized, go ahead and link it and tell me what a profiler shows, and I will explain what to do.

I've made my point already, you just haven't accepted it.

You made your claim, you haven't had any evidence or explanation, that's how it works. You say the same thing over and over and get more upset, but that isn't evidence. Show me where musl prevents someone from writing a fast program.

Insults and hallucinated quotes aren't a good foundation for proving your point. If you have to pretend that someone said something different, then maybe you aren't really making sense.

how about applying those elite optimization skills you claim to have to the MUSL code to make it faster.

Why would I do that when I don't use the C library for performance sensitive programs? You never seem to be able to confront this. The stuff made 50 years ago isn't the fastest possible stuff. It's still pretty fast and if you want something faster, do something else. It's not that complicated but it seems to really upset you.

I don't have any other conflicts of interest such as being a glibc developer, so don't start up with that shit either.

No one said anything about that, I think you're hallucinating or predicting something that never happened.
