So much nonsense in so few lines! memset() is standardized in the C
standard, and for a number of years, gcc has treated some of the
"library functions" not as functions, but as intrinsics. And memset()
is treated in this way by recent gcc versions.
The part you write about linking makes no sense at all. If memset()
was just a function called by the C compiler through the ABI, and the
compiler really performed separate compilation (no link-time
optimization), the memset() would not have been optimized away.
Indeed, separate compilation is a workaround I regularly use to
protect myself from miscompilation.
It's revealing that you blame the programmers even though you are
absolutely clueless about the issue at hand.
