Hi yf,

libsel4 code packaged as part of the seL4 repo is for production, yes. It is 
used by all downstream projects that I know of.

You can configure inline-ness of the libsel4 functions using the 
`LibSel4FunctionAttributes` cmake configure option:

https://github.com/seL4/seL4/blob/15.0.0/libsel4/CMakeLists.txt

In our use, we haven't seen excessive code bloat from inline functions, 
however, and generally I'd expect for these sorts of small functions it would 
not make much of a difference. When inclined on Aarch64, my experience is that 
an seL4_Signal will only take a few instructions.

Are you running into code bloat issues from the inline functions (i.e. is there 
some case where this isn't true?), or is this hypothetical/preference?

Julia

Subject: [seL4] libsel4 status

Dear experts,

It seems that currently libsel4 has many inlined functions thus user
space code size is large.

I am wondering if this is really necessary?

If current libsel4 is not for production use, then it doesnt matter.
Otherwise I am wondering if we need support size optimized config as
well? I am hoping that libsel4 changes wont affect kernel verification?

Regards,
yf
