From 8a934d6778331f2ac04a40f4f22178a56a232315 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andres Freund Date: Wed, 28 Mar 2018 12:45:32 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Use isinf builtin for clang, for performance. When compiling with clang glibc's definition of isinf() ends up leading to and external libc function call. That's because there was a bug in the builtin in an old gcc version, and clang claims compatibility with an older version. That causes clang to be measurably slower for floating point heavy workloads than gcc. To fix simply redirect isinf when using clang and clang confirms it has __builtin_isinf(). --- src/include/port.h | 15 ++++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 14 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/src/include/port.h b/src/include/port.h index 3e528fa1725..a514ab758b5 100644 --- a/src/include/port.h +++ b/src/include/port.h @@ -343,7 +343,20 @@ extern int getpeereid(int sock, uid_t *uid, gid_t *gid); #ifndef HAVE_ISINF extern int isinf(double x); -#endif +#else +/* + * Glibc doesn't use the builtin for clang due to a *gcc* bug in a version + * newer than the gcc compatibility clang claims to have.
