For gcc (4.0, 4.2 at least on X86) it looks like it will translate equivalent (at a machine level) function calls into a single jump instruction with -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer. In the inline case will optimize away the call entirely so that a call to sk_X509_new_null() ends up outputting identical code to sk_new_null(). It will not do the same for function pointers however so passing sk_X509_new_null() as an fp doesn't end up passing sk_new_null(). So it seems that at least on these platforms doing the "right thing" will have minimal overhead. Steve. -- Dr Stephen N. Henson.
