[llvm-dev] Removing LLVM_ALWAYS_INLINE from ADT classes (original) (raw)

Hi, I would like to propose, based on a previous discussion on llvm-dev, the following change. https://reviews.llvm.org/D56337

The main motivation for annotating member functions of ADT clases with LLVM_ALWAYS_INLINE was that of speeding up check-llvm at -O0. Turns out this significantly degrades the debuggability of fundamental classes in llvm itself, e.g. StringRef or SmallVector.

After discussing we agreed that it's reasonable to drop LLVM_ALWYAS_INLINE from ADT classes member functions and add a note in the developer's manual.

If you have any feedbacks or concerns, please speak up. If nothing major arises, I'm going to commit this patch in a week (or such).

Thanks for your time,
