[...] Perhaps the most important advantage of inlining is that it creates opportunities for other optimizations, such as constant propagation, strength reduction, dead code elimination, common sub-expression elimination, and hoisting code out of loops. The advantage of inlining comes not just from avoiding the call/return, but also from being able to specialize the subroutines's code for each particular invocation. Increasing amounts of code reuse is making this effect more important. -- Fergus Henderson | "I have always known that the pursuit WWW: | of excellence is a lethal habit" PGP: finger fjh@128.250.37.3 | -- the last words of T.
