Greetings,

The following code seems to create a new function call:

module test;
void main(char[][] args)
{
	return function(int i) { return i+2; }(1);
}


compiled with dmd test.d -inline
At least objdump of the .o file contains:

RELOCATION RECORDS FOR [.text._Dmain]:
OFFSET   TYPE              VALUE
00000009 R_386_PC32        _D4test4mainFAAaZv14__funcliteral1FiZi

which looks like a additional function to me. Though I must mention that=
 I  =

don't really know how correct my interpretation of these information is.=



Using nested functions, it seems to get inlined:

module test;
void main(char[][] args)
{
	int tmp(int i)
	{
		return i+2;
	}
	return tmp(1);
}



I was wondering if this is correctly interpreted by me and if yes, why i=
t  =

isn't inlined? I would expect that inlining function() {} () would even =
be  =

more easy than a nested function because it is used only at one place.

I guess the compiler could peephole-optimize that. Though: how common would
that idiom be? Why create a function literal just to call it on the spot? Why
not use a nested function in the first place?

int Wrap(int function() fn, int i) {
pre();
auto r = fn(i);
post();
return r;
}


void main()
{
   Wrap(function(int i) { return i+2; },0);
}

after Wrap is inlined, you get the same case as above

Ah yes, good point. In that light it seems like a very useful optimization.
