Jonathan Wakely e4fe6dba90 libstdc++: Optimize std::ostream inserters for single characters
On the libsdc++ mailing list Lewis Hyatt pointed out the performance
overhead of using sputn in stream inserters, rather than writing
directly to the streambuf's put area:
https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/libstdc++/2021-July/052877.html

As Lewis noted, the standard explicitly requires a call to sputn for
inserting a std::basic_string_view or std::basic_string.  But for
inserting single characters or null-terminated strings it is more vague,
and so we can improve performance by not using the __ostream_insert
function.

This is a minimal change that avoids __ostream_insert for single
characters. We can use the unformatted basic_ostream::put(charT)
function when we don't need the additional effects of a formatted output
function (i.e. padding and resetting the width). The put function will
insert into the buffer if possible, and only make a virtual call (to
overflow) if the buffer is full.

We could also avoid sputn when inserting null-terminated character
strings, but that would require using a new function for inserting
null-terminated strings, so the existing code using sputn is still used
for basic_string and basic_string_view. My preference is to leave that
for now, and try to improve the standard. We could either remove the
requirement to call sputn, or allow sputn to write directly to the
buffer instead of calling xsputn.

libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog:

	* include/std/ostream (operator<<(basic_ostream&, charT)):
	Use unformatted input if no padding is needed.
	(operator<<(basic_ostream<char>&, char)): Likewise.

This directory contains the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC).

The GNU Compiler Collection is free software.  See the files whose
names start with COPYING for copying permission.  The manuals, and
some of the runtime libraries, are under different terms; see the
individual source files for details.

The directory INSTALL contains copies of the installation information
as HTML and plain text.  The source of this information is
gcc/doc/install.texi.  The installation information includes details
of what is included in the GCC sources and what files GCC installs.

See the file gcc/doc/gcc.texi (together with other files that it
includes) for usage and porting information.  An online readable
version of the manual is in the files gcc/doc/gcc.info*.

See http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs/ for how to report bugs usefully.

Copyright years on GCC source files may be listed using range
notation, e.g., 1987-2012, indicating that every year in the range,
inclusive, is a copyrightable year that could otherwise be listed
individually.
