No, I don't see a "specific" reason. But:
- functions from the same translation unit that call it (and that appear
after it in normal mode, but the restriction is lifted with
-funit-at-a-time) don't actually emit the call,
- would the benefit be worth it in real life, given that the costly operation
is to call the function itself (for nothing)? I think the real optimization
is not to emit the call at all.
