ml and link

[joemc]

I know when you use cl.exe and link with the latest versions of Visual Studio it automatically inlines procedures that seem suitable, and recently can do this accross different object modules. so i am guessing the work happens in link.exe since it is from different obj files.   Does this happen to objs put together with ml.exe?

If not is there a way to turn it on?

If it does, is there a way to turn it off?

msdn explanation of link.exe did not have any answers

Joe,

As best as I can tell inlining is a compiler option, not a direct linker option but I doubt you can get it to work on external obj modules built with anything else, ML included. I have seen CL inline simple code to cut down the call overhead but the inlined code was almost C intrinsics.
