Subject: [ruby-core:63921] Re: [ruby-trunk - Bug #10080] [Open] Functions marked as "static inline" are not inlined by gcc

Can you show a performance difference with always_inline on those
functions?

Inlining is not always faster, it bloats the code and eats cache.
Perhaps GCC is avoiding that bloat.
