From b7e01457d12b64d98b0396f95e46489c02209982 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Carl-Daniel Hailfinger Date: Wed, 25 Nov 2009 16:58:17 +0000 Subject: Reduce realloc syscall overhead for FT2232 and bitbang FT2232 ran realloc() for every executed command. Start with a big enough buffer and don't touch buffer size unless it needs to grow. Bitbang was slightly better: It only ran realloc() if buffer size changed. Still, the solution above improves performance and reliability. Corresponding to flashrom svn r780.
