Issue ID: 20898
Summary: order dependency in evaluating pragma(inline) for
functions
Product: D
Version: D2
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P1

If the pragma(inline) is present in the function body, the semantic analysis of
the function body must be done before the function is called in order for it to
be recognized:
int test(int j) {
void bar() { pragma(inline, true); ++j; }
return foo(j);
}
int foo(int i) {
pragma(inline, true);
while (i)
i = i * 2;
return i + 1;
}
This compiles successfully with -inline switch, even though foo() is called,
and is not inlined. If foo() is defined above test(), it will fail to compile.
The solution is to deprecate use of pragma(inline) inside of functions where
attributes cannot be inferred. (I.e. most freestanding functions.)
