[New-bugs-announce] [issue46848] Use optimized string search function in mmap.find()

[Stefan Tatschner]

New submission from Stefan Tatschner <stefan at rumpelsepp.org>:

The mmap.find() in  function uses a naive loop to search string matches. This can be optimized “for free” by using libc's memmap(3) function instead.

The relevant file is Modules/mmapmodule.c, the relevant function is mmap_gfind().
