2 comments:
1. I deliberately kept the host_math_func list very short because I
recognized this concern regarding configure's slowness.
2. They are run by a lot of users, since tablegen is done at runtime
by default. "Never run by a user" is thus incorrect. It is not a
"micro-optimization", pow is often 4x slower than relevant function.
