Re: memrchr() implementation

So what's the best way to get git to use memrchr()?

In my very humble opinion: [1].

I was thinking of getting git to use glibc's implementation if glibc
is present, if not, use a naive implementation included in git's code
base [2].

Sounds reasonable.

http://www.sudo.ws/repos/sudo/file/c1ab4b940980/compat/memrchr.c

For something simple as this, I'd prefer to avoid a differently
licensed (even ISC-licensed) file.

It might also be worth convincing the folks at
http://austingroupbugs.net/ to standardize the interface so there
could be optimized implementations of memrchr on more platforms over
time.

Thanks,
Jonathan
