Is cross-section inlining valid behaviour?

["Bingfeng Mei" <bmei at broadcom dot com>]

Hello, 

I came across a problem related to cross-section inlining. For the
following example, 

static void foo(void) __attribute__((section ("foo")));
 
static void foo(void)
{
  printf("Hello\n");
}
 
void bar(void) __attribute__((section ("bar")));
 
void bar(void)
{
  foo();
}

 
I compiled with the latest mainline gcc. 
gcc tst.c -O3 -S


The foo function is inlined into bar anyway even they have different
section attribute.  Is this a bug or expected behaviour? 
	.file	"tst.c"
	.section	.rodata.str1.1,"aMS",@progbits,1
.LC0:
	.string	"Hello"
	.section	bar,"ax",@progbits
	.p2align 4,,15
.globl bar
	.type	bar, @function
bar:
.LFB3:
	movl	$.LC0, %edi
	jmp	puts
.LFE3:


Thanks.
