Subject: [PATCH v2 3/4] Provide the always inline version of some functions
Date: Sun, 9 Nov 2025 01:23:45 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251108172346.263590-4-qq570070308@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251108172346.263590-1-qq570070308@gmail.com>
On critical hot code paths, inline functions can optimize performance.
However, for current compilers, there is no way to request them to inline
at a specific calling point of a function.
Add a always inline version to some functions, so that they can be chosen
when called in hot paths.
