The question isn't so much that, it's whether the compiler supports
inline functions with the same behavior as gcc. At minimum that
would require
* not generating extra copies of the function
* not whining about unreferenced static functions
How many compilers have you tested this patch against? Which ones
does it actually offer any benefit for?
