------- Comment #3 from paolo dot carlini at oracle dot com 2010-01-12 13:11 ------- No, in this case it's just a diagnostic telling you that the function cannot be inlined by the optimizers, there is nothing in the Standard about that, and it can well be that for some reason (there are many possible) it will *never* be in the foreseeable future. But if exactly the same function *could* be inlined by a previous version of GCC and you cannot convince the new GCC to do that even playing with the various --param knobs, you could (should) file an optimization regression PR.
