24 /* This file contains definitions for language-independent
25 parameters. The DEFPARAM macro takes 4 arguments:
27 - The enumeral corresponding to this parameter.
29 - The name that can be used to set this parameter using the
30 command-line option `--param <name>=<value>'.
32 - A help string explaining how the parameter is used.
34 - A default value for the parameter.
36 Be sure to add an entry to invoke.texi summarizing the parameter. */
38 /* The single function inlining limit. This is the maximum size
39 of a function counted in internal gcc instructions (not in
40 real machine instructions) that is eligible for inlining
41 by the tree inliner.
42 The default value is 300.
43 Only functions marked inline (or methods defined in the class
44 definition for C++) are affected by this, unless you set the
45 -finline-functions (included in -O3) compiler option.
46 There are more restrictions to inlining: If inlined functions
47 call other functions, the already inlined instructions are
48 counted and once the recursive inline limit (see
49 "max-inline-insns" parameter) is exceeded, the acceptable size
50 gets decreased. */

57 (in the internal gcc representation, not real machine instructions)

60 This is done by a linear function, see "max-inline-slope" parameter.
61 It is necessary in order to limit the compile-time resources, that
62 could otherwise become very high.
63 It is recommended to set this value to twice the value of the single
64 function limit (set by the "max-inline-insns-single" parameter) or
65 higher. The default value is 600.
66 Higher values mean that more inlining is done, resulting in
67 better performance of the code, at the expense of higher
68 compile-time resource (time, memory) requirements and larger
69 binaries.
