gcc front end help

[HAN,GUOLING]

Hi,
We are going to use gcc as our SystemC synthesizer front end.
It will parse the SystemC (actually a C++) program, construct the
net-list, and build the RTL for each function.
For synthesis purpose, some features in C++ will be interpreted
differently in our system. We don't want the some methods to be
inlined; we don't need the virtual function calls to be expanded into a
series of address calculation.
Could anyone tell me how to forbid function inline in GCC? I tried the
compiler options and changed some code in cp directory. It dose not work.

Could you also help us evaluate the feasibilty of using GCC as our
frontend?

Thanks.
