Why do we not declare the mmxput stuff in sse-intrinsics.c as static? I hope this doesn't mean they're not inlined if otherwise applicable... And there seem to be lot's of missing "static" for functions in EPI_fmt_plug.c and other files. magnum On 11 May, 2013, at 18:35 , <jfoug@....net> wrote: > Many of these have to be global. There were issues in some compiling env's (cygwin??) where it would not align static variables. Thus, we have #defines in each source, which mangles the normal name (crypt) into something unique to the format (MD5Gen_crypt, etc). Yes, they are globals, but steps have been taken to make sure they are linker safe. > > There is little/no gain worrying about unused globals. The only time it matters at all, is at link time.
