Hi all, I'm using gcc-4.1.1 to compile glibc. In the nptl threads library, the static function "allocate_stack" (in allocatestack.c which is #included into pthread_create.c) is being integrated into "__pthread_create_2_1" when pthread_create.c is compiled. In the build log, it's clear that the optimization is -O2, and no -f... option is specified to request inlining. Neither function has any special attributes. The object file has no allocatestack symbol, and it's obvious that the code is in the middle of pthread_create. Does this kind of integration happen when a static function has but a single caller, even if inlining isn't requested? If so, is this documented somewhere?
