--- Comment #2 from Daniel Santos <daniel.santos at pobox dot com> --- Hmm, I suppose I wasn't considering that interpretation of the language. Your clarification helps though, and actually sounds pretty good: "always_inline forces inlining of the function under all circumstances and it is an error if the function cannot be inlined." I know that I am not the only person who has read the original language and interpreted it as marking the function inline-able, even if if inlining (-finline-functions) isn't enabled, yet still subject to other considerations for a determination as to rather or not the function body is actually inlined, (i.e., the inline insn count). So can we get some clarification similar to the language you used above?
