Moreover, I am wondering which the exact conditions are
under which NOINLINE pragmas are ignored by the compiler.
It seems at least always to be ignored in code like
{-# NOINLINE foo #-}
foo = <some code>
bar .. = ..foo..
If that is the only occurence of `foo', inlining is
certainly always save, but on the other hand if I take the
trouble to add a NOINLINE pragma, I actually mean it. For
example, I sometimes want to see what Core code is produced
for <some code> using -ddump-simpl. The compiler can't know
that, so IMHO it should better just follow my instructions,
instead of trying to be extra smart.
Cheers,
Manuel
