[egcs-1.0.1/i586-pc-linux-gnulibc1] g++ and inline

[Andrew Pollard <andrew at odie dot demon dot co dot uk>]

This isn't a bug report, just a great improvement over gcc-2.7.2 :-)

a.cc:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
struct A {
        int a;
        A(int _a) : a(_a) {}

        int foo(void) const { return(bar()); }
        int bar(void) const { return(a); }
};
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
% g++ -v
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-pc-linux-gnulibc1/egcs-2.90.23/specs
gcc version egcs-2.90.23 980102 (egcs-1.0.1 release)
% g++ -O -finline-functions -Winline a.cc
a.cc: In method `int A::foo() const':
a.cc:6: warning: can't inline call to `int A::bar() const'
a.cc:5: warning: called from here

gcc-2.7.2.2 didn't warn about this (and didn't inline the code
either).

(ie you have to declare inline functions before they are used in other
inline functions).

Good stuff...

Andrew.
