yes, I have this memory of having seen that before - the size
heuristics for gcc getting confused by inlining. I'm wondering if
maybe it uses the size of the string to approximate the size, or just
uses some random variable.
It might be a good idea to mark things that are basically just
wrappers around a single (or a couple of) asm instruction to be
always_inline.
