I tried the following:

-finline-limit=100000 --param large-function-growth=100000 --param
inline-unit-growth=100000 ,

but the messages did not go away. I have organized my code in small
functions but I wish the compiler would flatten most of it to avoid
function call overhead (when it is reasonable). The function in question
is called in three places from a function that is called only from one
place, inside a function that is called in two main loops. I hoped the
compiler might be able to tell me something like "inlining function X
would result in code growth Y%, which is prohibited by parameter Z".
