I guess so. Or you could define foo with C linkage:
extern "C" {
static inline __attribute__((always_inline))
void foo(void){}
};
static inline __attribute__((always_inline,alias("foo")))
void bar(void);
static
void f(void) { foo(); }

Pure inline functions may be overloaded, how will you
decide which one to alias given only unmangled name?
