Subject: [PATCH] _start_c does more work than is necessary
The init sequence in musl is _start calls _start_c which calls
__libc_start_main.
_start_c passes pointers to the _init and _fini functions, and also a
trailing zero, to __libc_start_main.
__libc_start_main currently takes exactly three arguments. I'd like to
simplify crt1.c by only passing main, argc, argv.
This is worth a few lines of C and three instructions in the startup
sequence. E.g. x86-64 this removes mov, mov, xor for fourteen bytes.
It also removes uses of _init() and _free() which I'm considering deleting
from a musl/llvm toolchain which makes no use of either, slightly
decreasing the size of my out of tree patch.
Thanks,
Jon
