inline question

[Mike Kumbera <kumbera1 at llnl dot gov>]

I'm having troubles understanding how to get gfortran to inline a
subroutine. This is a simplified example but if I can't inline a 
function that
does a=a+b then I don't have hope for any other functions. What am
I doing wrong? (This example rewritten for gcc DOES inline the function 
call.)

There are two loops in the example program. The top loop calls a subroutine
'simple_add' to do the work and the bottom loop I inlined by hand to do the
exact same work.

                                   time in seconds (lower is better)
                                               top_loop        bottom_loop
gfortran -O0                            18.3                10.7
ifort -O0                                  17.3                10.4

gfortran -O4                            11.5                3.3
ifort -O4                                    3.8                3.3

ifort -O4 -fno-inline-functions 11.43           3.3


I'm using gfortran version:
