Re: C compile time
> Why do we want inline before gimplifing?
We might want to do that to do C++-specific optimizations.
Jason, Jeff, and I talked about this some at the conference; it's not
clear what the right answer is. Some C++-specific optimizations
(virtual call elimination is a canonical example) really want flow
graphs and inlining, constant propagation, and dead code elimination to
have happenned, but still want some C++-specific bits lying around.
