== QEMU == * Wrote the context routines for Eglibc, including those that QEMU uses These pass all the context tests I could find, including QEMUs coroutine tests, and with them QEMU seems to boot OK. I've got a full eglibc test run going at the moment, but I don't think anything else uses them. I posted them with comments and a question to libc-ports; I'll try and chase follow ups.

== String routines == * I posted the strchr and strlen routines to eglibc (libc-ports) * On strchr the question of whether it was worth using the longer version that's faster for longer strings (but slower for shorter strings) came up. I posted some stats, observations etc - and there is still a discussion on going about it. * For strlen, rth noted the same trick that I'd originally seen in newlib (and for which RichardS and Ramana had suggested) of a quicker end-of-string sequence using clz. I'd avoided this because I'd originally seen it in newlib and didn't want to copy it; but since 3 people have individually suggested it it would seem using.

== Goodbye! == Thank you all for a fun & interesting year! I'm sure many of us will meet online again in the future. I'll try and follow my linaro.org address while it's still live to check for any replies to any patches/comments etc.
