It's the other way round. pragma(inline) has currently *three*
behaviors:
pragma(inline);
pragma(inline, true);
pragma(inline, false);
There is no way to represent those as a single boolean.
Ugh. And pragma(inline) doesn't mean what you would think it means. This
is not a very good API for it, it's going to confuse everyone.
Er.. nevermind. I misread the docs. I think.
I do think it is terribly confusing. pragma(inline) does not cause any
inlining by itself at all. It just means to let the compiler do what it
normally does (i.e. try to inline if -inline is specified).
OK, that is what I first thought. Then I thought it meant that for that
function, it works as if -inline was passed on the command line (i.e.
try to inline if possible, if not, don't worry about it). So you are
saying the first interpretation is correct?
That means pragma(inline) is essentially useless.
