4 * 21264 version contributed by Rick Gorton <rick.gorton@alpha-processor.com>
6 * Append a null-terminated string from SRC to DST.
8 * Much of the information about 21264 scheduling/coding comes from:
9 * Compiler Writer's Guide for the Alpha 21264
10 * abbreviated as 'CWG' in other comments here
11 * ftp.digital.com/pub/Digital/info/semiconductor/literature/dsc-library.html
12 * Scheduling notation:
14 * U - upper subcluster; U0 - subcluster U0; U1 - subcluster U1
15 * L - lower subcluster; L0 - subcluster L0; L1 - subcluster L1
16 * Try not to change the actual algorithm if possible for consistency.
17 * Commentary: It seems bogus to walk the input string twice - once
18 * to determine the length, and then again while doing the copy.
19 * A significant (future) enhancement would be to only read the input
