Go requires that pointer moves are done 8 bytes at a time, but gccgo uses libc's memmove and memset which does not require that, and there are some cases where an 8 byte move might be done as 4+4. To enforce 8 byte moves for memmove and memset, this adds a C implementation in libgo/runtime for memmove and memset to be used on ppc64le and ppc64. Asm implementations were considered but discarded to avoid different implementations for different target ISAs.

This directory contains the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC). The GNU Compiler Collection is free software. See the files whose names start with COPYING for copying permission. The manuals, and some of the runtime libraries, are under different terms; see the individual source files for details. The directory INSTALL contains copies of the installation information as HTML and plain text. The source of this information is gcc/doc/install.texi. The installation information includes details of what is included in the GCC sources and what files GCC installs. See the file gcc/doc/gcc.texi (together with other files that it includes) for usage and porting information. An online readable version of the manual is in the files gcc/doc/gcc.info*. See http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs/ for how to report bugs usefully. Copyright years on GCC source files may be listed using range notation, e.g., 1987-2012, indicating that every year in the range, inclusive, is a copyrightable year that could otherwise be listed individually.
