If such situation (behaviour changes with optimization) happens it's either compiler or a source bug, so is of no direct concern to kgraft. If you want to exchange an inlined function foo you of course have to take care of actually exchanging all functions into which foo was inlined. For that you need the inline tree for all kernels for which you want to support kgrafting. > Is turning off inter-procedural and inter-module optimalizations needed > for kgraft to work?
