bpo-45116: Add the Py_ALWAYS_INLINE macro by vstinner · Pull Request #28390 · python/cpython
Conversation
Add the Py_ALWAYS_INLINE macro to ask the compiler to always inline a
static inline function. The compiler can ignore it and decides to not
inline the function.
I decided to split my old PR #28141 in two parts:
- (1) this PR adds the macro
- (2) use the macro on some performance critical static inline functions

I don't want to advertise too much this macro :-D As I wrote in its documentation, misusing it can make the code slower.
Also, I'm not even sure if it should be used in Python :-) Benchmarks will give us some hints ;-)
