Yeah, and then tree-nested.c should do most of the magic needed to make it
working (plus expansion emit trampolines unless target has some other ways
to pass the static chain pointer).
Just look what will
__attribute__((noipa)) void foo (void (*fn) (void))
{
fn ();
fn ();
}
int
main ()
{
int i = 0;
void bar (void) { i++; }
foo (bar);
return i - 2;
}
do in C, the attribute is there to make sure it isn't inlined or otherwise
IPA optimized.
