[PATCH] make isdigit() table lookupless

From: Alexey Dobriyan
Date: Fri Aug 26 2016 - 15:00:45 EST


Make isdigit into a simple range checking inline function:

return '0' <= c && c <= '9';

This code is 1 branch, not 2 because any reasonable compiler can
optimize this code into SUB+CMP, so the code

while (isdigit((c = *s++)))
...

remains 1 branch per iteration HOWEVER it suddenly doesn't do table
lookup priming cacheline nobody cares about.
