Are you sure of that?
Perhaps the compiler would inline the assignment
anyway if addr_mode is __builtin_constant_p
gcc 4.8 here does the same thing with:
static inline unsigned char f1(unsigned char a)
{
switch (a) {
case 0: return 16;
case 1: return 8;
case 2: return 2;
default: return 0;
}
}
static inline unsigned char f2(unsigned char a)
{
static const unsigned char rtns[] = { 16, 8, 2, 0 };
return rtns[a & 3];
}
