But this situation demonstrates why having an intelligent
linker is a better solution than decorating with attributes.
The linker should know if you took an address of an
always-inlined function or not and decide whether or not to
remove it from the binary.
It already does. Apparently there are some kind of problems with
certain setups, but, instead of addressing those problems, more
and
more /language/ hacks are proposed...
Do you mean the problems with --gc-sections breaking code?
