The FPC implementation inlines if the unit-with-function-to-be-inlined
was compiled before the unit that references the inline function. That
is within the /same/ (single) build, but also has as disadvantage afaik
that if it is NOT like that, it won't be inlined.
I think that’s right. LTO is much slower too so there’s that. I think
Jonas once said in the LLVM backend it was 15% faster because of
aggressive inlining.
Note that one strategy doesn't inhibit the other.
I in theory FPC could do the double build strategy to improve inlining
performance further, but that would be a considerable feature of course.
Both more mandatory inlining and resolving more complicated mutual
inlining patterns.
