No, the compiler will tell you if it has failed to inline the function (which almost never will happen, but if it does, will no longer happen silently). You can then fix the problem that was preventing the compiler from inlining the function. If you see no messages you can safely assume that all of your functions are inlined. > That doesn't make me any happier, and if you don't see why, then I can't > help you. Sorry, if you picture the compiler "screwing you" and then "laughing derisively", perhaps the recent stress of getting the kernel release out was a bit much and some time off will help. :-) The compiler people aren't plotting against you, it's just that functions can't always be inlined. I don't think you have a reason to be unhappy, unless you can point out a specific function that is not being inlined.
