I personally don't use assembler any more. At least I try to avoid it. ;-)

I've played with "inline" and with "__attribute__((gnu_inline,
always_inline))" to avoid this overhead, but it doesn't work as expected.

#if defined(__GNUC__)
#  define ALLWAYS_INLINE inline __attribute__((gnu_inline, always_inline))
#endif
ALLWAYS_INLINE int foo (void)
{
  // ...
}

I've tried it with -Os and foo() is still called.

As you can see it receives in the list. But with 1/2 hour delay.
