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.
It's in, merged a couple months ago, will be in the upcoming
2.068 release:
