In fact, uninlining makes things a > little worse due to callframe stuff. it gets interesting at the three-way.. if a() calls b() and then calls c(), and they all use N, the total usage is now 3N not 2N. (although current gcc is already somewhat smarter about this, and 3N might actually be 2N for some cases) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
