RE: Function-specific optimization flags and inlining

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

I tried with following code.
~/work/install-x86/bin/gcc tst.c -O2 -o a.out -save-temps
foo still gets inlined into main function.

If I use -O0 in the attribute, the foo is compiled with -O0
and not inlined. I am a bit confused now.

static void foo (int * __restrict__ a, int * __restrict__ b, int * __restrict__ c) __attribute__((optimize("-O1")));
static void foo (int * __restrict__ a, int * __restrict__ b, int * __restrict__ c)
{
   int i;
   for(i = 0; i < 100; i+=4)
     {
       a[i] = b[i] * c[i];
       a[i+1] = b[i+1] * c[i+1];
       a[i+2] = b[i+2] * c[i+2];
       a[i+3] = b[i+3] * c[i+3];
     }
}   

int a[100], b[100], c[100];

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
  int i;
  for (i = 0; i < 100; i++)
  {
     b[i] = i;
     c[i] = 100 - i;
  }
  
  foo (a, b, c);
  return 0;
}
