--- Comment #8 from Walter Bright <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Manu from comment #7) > - emit a copy of the function to each CU it's called from But then it's going to be doing code gen for each of them over and over. > - not emit the function to the CU it's declared (unless it's called, as > above) > - mark the function with 'internal' linkage (what C++ calls 'static') so > it's not in the object's exported symbol table. So what if it's in the symbol table? > - symbol is not externally linkable Why not? > - symbols referenced by an inline function that's never called must NOT cause > a link error under any circumstances This is a linker problem - the linker is supposed to remove unreferenced functions. --
