Following test case extern void f2(void);
static __attribute__((section(".text.init"))) int f1(void) { f2(); } void f3(void) { f1(); } gives f3: jmp f2 But f1 shouldn't have been inlined into f2 because it as a different section attribute and might have special properties from that other section. gcc version 4.2.0 20060118 (experimental) -- Summary: gcc shouldn't inline functions with different section attributes Product: gcc Version: 4.2.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: tree-optimization AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: ak at muc dot de GCC host triplet: x86_64-linux GCC target triplet: x86_64-linux http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25966
