I was referring to the stack (in main and the created functions).
This bring one corrolary: can a function be reconsidered for inlining 
after having went throught the optimizer. If so, with your patch, 
after a few cycles, the optimal code (with no function call at all 
would be generated). The question is still, what is the cost and
is it worth doing so...

Further checking shows that Kai does the inlining when the constructor of 
the X class is the default constructor generated by the compiler and 
does the behaviour I described when this constructor is implemented 
by the user.
