--- Comment #11 from Jason Merrill <jason at gcc dot gnu.org> --- I'm surprised that adding the "artificial" attribute didn't work; I thought the main point of that attribute was to automatically skip the function in the debugger/profiler. I guess that never got implemented in gdb? Related threads about avoiding debugging of uninteresting functions, which led to the addition of the "artificial" attribute: https://gcc.gnu.org/legacy-ml/gcc-patches/2005-07/threads.html#01969 https://gcc.gnu.org/legacy-ml/gcc-patches/2007-08/threads.html#02300 But these functions aren't really artificial, just tiny, so using that attribute seems wrong.
