Hi all, I have a small app. In it in a a particular place, I had a 2-3 functions being called from one main function. They were small functions (5-6 lines) and inline keyword was used. The performance was ......... HORRIBLE. -Winline didn't report any case of a function not being inlined. I didn't know where to start. So I manually inlined these functions. They are very small and quite trivial. The program now shows ~60x speed-up in that part of the code. I have no idea what's the cause of this dramatic speed up. But I suspect it is because I am using g++ to make a shared library. All the functions referred to here are in one file. It is complied by using a -c -fPIC option to make a .o file. Several .o files are later packed together into a .so file using a -shared option. Is my guess correct? -- Rohit Garg http://rpg-314.blogspot.com/ Senior Undergraduate Department of Physics Indian Institute of Technology Bombay
