I noticed the comments in the test don't correspond to what it's designed to exercise: namely that the call to hot_function() is inlined and the call to cold_function() is not, rather than the other way around.
Attached is a patch that adjusts the comments. Honza, please let me know if this looks correct to you. Thaks Martin
