Most functions in the kernel are defined as inline functions, gcc will expand inline functions for you only if you give explicit optimization. The problem is at -O3 and above gcc will start treating some normal functions as inline too, so you should use -O2 at the best. cheers srp - Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
