optimized inlining of specific standard function calls

[Enrico Weigelt]

Hi folks,


many specific cases of standard library function calls, eg. 

    snprintf (buf, sizeof(buf), "%s%s", a, b)

could be optimized to a few assembler lines, since in those 
cases the compiler knows exactly whats happening here.

Does gcc yet support such optimizations ? 

If not, how could it be implemented ?
