You could use GDC and @attribute("forceinline") and
@attribute("noinline"). But I agree it would be nice to have
something like that as a part of the language.
Don't mean to resurrect an old thread but was working n a project
to replace a few C programs today, that are time-sensitive and
process fairly large batches of files, for live-use.
Was looking for a way to inline a few function calls that could
shave a few seconds off my run time today, ended up using GDC
attribute flags but was hoping the language had this feature.
Though I understand it intelligently decides, sometimes it
doesn't do so well.
Case in point might be a call that at first glance doesn't get
called often, but when in production, gets called thousands of
times. That could be massive savings if it were able to force
inline.
