It is not used to reduce debug info but rather to make the debugging experience better. It marks the inlined function with DW_AT_artificial. .byte 0x1 # DW_AT_decl_file (/app/example.cpp) .byte 0x2 # DW_AT_decl_line .long 0x35 # DW_AT_type .byte 0x3 # DW_AT_inline .byte 0x1 # DW_AT_artificial That is it is actually better than Clang's nodebug for debuggability reasons. In my view nodebug is a hack rather than actually use DW_AT_artificial correctly.
