Recently, I'm very interested in the inlining model of gcc.I need a detailed documentation describing how the inlining is implemented in gcc 4.0. Anybody who has been or is working on it please send me a documentation. I'd really appreciate your help.
There is no such documentation; you're going to have to look at the source. The mechanism of actually duplicating a function body and substituting it for a call is in tree-inline.c. The decision about which calls to expand inline is made in cgraph.c and cgraphunit.c.
