I think __attribute__((always_inline)) is used to inline functions even not optimizing. Below is from GCC manual: always_inline Generally, functions are not inlined unless optimization is specified. For functions declared inline, this attribute inlines the function even if no optimization level was specified.
That just means that it's inlined under the implicit default optimization level -O1 (that is what you get "if no optimization level was specified"). If you set -O0, it will not inline. I had problem where -O0 broke code that is depended on being inlined.
Best regards.
