You're addressing the 'const' issue, but you haven't addressed the
OP's issue: that 'ref', for whatever reason, prevents inlining. Const
aside, why is this so?
Because I never updated the inlining code to handle it.
Well I'm glad it's that simple, and I'm sure Jeremie is too ;)
There are a lot of D specific optimization opportunities that are left
undone for now.
This is fine with me. I think the OP just wants to be sure that not
inlining functions with ref args isn't a design decision.
I think these kinds of limitations make people more sour than others
because D lacks a manual inlining mechanism, with the explanation that the
compiler knows how to inline better. Clearly, the compiler isn't there
yet, and I understand why, I just wanted to bring to light why this might
be a thorn in some sides.
