Would it be possible to make it a function attribute? I would really like to have void __attribute__((optimization("Os"))) slow_init_function(void) { } to let slow_init_function be compiled as space efficient as possible. I think that would be very useful for the Linux kernel at least. There is already a __init modifier for functions that ought to be freed after initialization and it would be nice to just add a one liner to make them smaller too. In addition letting the compiler do that automatically based on profile feedback for "cold" functions would be very cool. -Andi
