Hi,

let's do this for ext/vstring first, and let's see how people react. I'm
still reluctant to do it for basic_string, given that the compare
functions are exported and legacy apps are at risk of behaving
differently all of a sudden. Committed to mainline.

Thanks,
Paolo.

I don't see it.  You're really hurting the 32 bit side with this.  The
original is reduced to a subtraction, while the new code adds:

        xorl    %eax, %eax
        cmpl    $0, %edx
        je      .L3
        setg    %al
        movzbl  %al, %eax
        leal    -1(%eax,%eax), %eax
.L3
        ret

In addition, it seems that the attempt only reduces the code by one move?
