Only on platforms that use this markup. Which is exactly the point I am
raising. The gain by this optimisation is questionable at best and it
has created (or exposed, however you want to call it) non-trivial bugs
in the real world. There is a reason why there is a lot of push back
outside glibc for this markers.
