GCC 3.3 release criteria

[Lars Segerlund]

  I just wanted to comment on the inline versus inline debate.

   When I write inline, I MEAN inline , and I generally have a VERY good
reason for it !

   I tend to do embedded system and regular system programming, and my
viewpoint is that the compilers reaction to 'inline' in not up to
interpretation, I do believe this is an opinion shared by a lot of
people doing real work.

   Inlining during optimisation is a separate issue, but as far as I am
concerned if this don't work as expected, I have to inline (either
automatically or by hand), and then include the .o files prodused by asm
sources.

   This would be quite a workaround.

   I think that somtimes 'high level' people don't quite understand the
issues involved when you have timing constraints on sections of code.
