------- Additional Comments From hjl at lucon dot org 2004-11-24 21:31 ------- I am not sure why it shouldn't work. Given
static void foo_internal () { } extern void (*foo) (); void xxx () { foo = &foo_internal; } void bar () { foo_internal (); } Gcc 4.0 has no problems inlining foo_internal and emitting its body at the same time. The only difference here is the address of foo_internal vs. an external alias of foo_internal. In fact, gcc 4.0 does the right thing for static void foo_internal () { } extern void (*foo) (); void xxx () { foo = &foo_internal; } extern __typeof (foo_internal) work __attribute__ ((alias ("foo_internal"))); void bar () { foo_internal (); } Gcc 4.0 has to do inlining and emitting body of a static functon anyway. How to make it to work with external alias? -- What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|RESOLVED |REOPENED Resolution|INVALID | http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15700
