Another example of failed inlining, now also existent in 4.0 as of 2005-02-13:
When I tried to compile with -O5 -Dinline=__attribute__\(\(__always_inline__\)\) I get the error message below. Interestingly there's no "inline" word here, it must have been taken from some global declaration ? --- code from include/c++/4.0.0/bits/ostream.tcc --- template<typename _CharT, typename _Traits> basic_ostream<_CharT, _Traits>& basic_ostream<_CharT, _Traits>:: operator<<(__ostream_type& (*__pf)(__ostream_type&)) { ... --- error message --- xxx.h|39| sorry, unimplemented: called from here -- Summary: __always_inline__ fails on STL templetized function Product: gcc Version: 4.0.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: c++ AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: yuri at tsoft dot com CC: gcc-bugs at gcc dot gnu dot org http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20343
