Bug ID: 105488 Summary: Function definition is not generated OR function is not inlined Product: gcc Version: 11.1.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: pavel.morozkin at gmail dot com Target Milestone: --- Note: probably this is a duplicate. This code: inline void f(void) { } int main(void) { f(); } leads to this code: .file "t609.c" .text .def __main; .scl 2; .type 32; .endef .globl main .def main; .scl 2; .type 32; .endef .seh_proc main main: pushq %rbp .seh_pushreg %rbp movq %rsp, %rbp .seh_setframe %rbp, 0 subq $32, %rsp .seh_stackalloc 32 .seh_endprologue call __main call f movl $0, %eax addq $32, %rsp popq %rbp ret .seh_endproc .ident "GCC: (GNU) 11.1.0" .def f; .scl 2; .type 32; .endef Here we see that "call f" is present, while "f:" is absent. As a result: $ gcc t609.c ld: /tmp/cc8z1GjU.o:t609.c:(.text+0xe): undefined reference to `f' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status I think that: - either function definition is not generated, - either function is not inlined.
