I have a question about DMD's -inline switch. IMPORTANT: I *do* already know the general idea of inline from C, so you don't need to explain the basics to me (unless my questions reveal a misconception about inline that I'm not aware of).

What I'd like to know is:

- If I *don't* use -inline, will DMD refuse to inline any function?
- If I *do* use -inline, will DMD inline all functions?
- Is there a way to let DMD's optimizer decide which functions to inline?

Thanks,
Def

I believe so, but whether or not... I suggest not depending on it.

> - If I *do* use -inline, will DMD inline all functions?

No.  It will only inline certain functions which seem worthwhile.

> - Is there a way to let DMD's optimizer decide which functions to inline?

That would be what the option does ;).  Of course, I would suggest using -O too, for optimized builds.

Sounds reasonable. Unless someone tells me otherwise, I will stick to your advice. Thanks heaps, Def
