Because thunk functions have no bodies in gimple form and are no functions (at the moment) in cgraph sense. What IPA infrastructure needs to learn is to handle inlining of those as well as compute proper jump functions. We spoke with Martin on this some time ago, we ought to get this done in 4.7. Thunks are very irritating spcial cases from cgraph POV ;( I however like the idea that code doing devirtualizatio (type based or folding based) will also do adjustment to call the actual functions instead of thunk. Direct calls to thunks are quite nonsential. Honza s > > Richard. > > > Honza > >
