| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | TEST_IFUNC is only tested in two headers, bench-string.h and test-string.h, after it gets defined by those headers, and it never gets undefined.

This patch removes the useless defines and tests of TEST_IFUNC and the associated useless tests and makefile code. It thereby fixes a series of warnings "../string/test-string.h:21:0: warning: "TEST_IFUNC" redefined" where test-string.h defines TEST_IFUNC to empty, other files define it to 1 and this produces warnings.

* Begin porting string performance tests to benchtestsSiddhesh Poyarekar2013-06-111-0/+212
This is the initial support for string function performance tests, along with copying tests for memcpy and memcpy-ifunc as proof of concept. The string function benchmarks perform operations at different alignments and for different sizes and compare performance between plain operations and the optimized string operations. Due to this their output is incompatible with the function benchmarks where we're interested in fastest time, throughput, etc. In future, the correctness checks in the benchmark tests can be removed. Same goes for the performance measurements in the string/test-*.
