--- Comment #6 from Jan Hubicka <hubicka at gcc dot gnu.org> 2012-01-04 14:57:34 UTC --- Estimate_edge_devirt_benefit seems to not make much of sense in mixing the effects of inlining into the local size. Unforutnately we don't really have much infrastructure for similar cases. For 4.8 I plan to add benefit metrics that allows inline-analysis to hint inliner that the inlining is cool idea besides the local code size/time improvements. I am testing the following patch.
