Re: Inlined functions and their original bodies - bloat

[kinke via Digitalmars-d-learn]

The 'bloat' is usually gotten rid of by the linker if really 
unreferenced in the binary being linked.

There's a little trick to make sure the function is *always* 
inlined, across modules too, allowing to suppress the then 
guaranteed unused function symbol - converting it to a function 
literal. See
