--- Comment #10 from Mikhail Teterin <mi@FreeBSD.org> ---
> The problem is that once you start inlining

It is my understanding, that "inline" is a hint (as is/was "register")... If
compiler knows, the target architecture cannot handle it, it will/should sk=
ip
it.

> Perhaps, although I suspect there will not be a lot of interest

Ok, so we agree, that it is a clang/llvm bug and what's left is to figure o=
ut,
what to do about it.

> investigating i386-specific optimization issues

Sad... i386 is still listed as Tier-1 in 11. and 12., becoming Tier-2 in 13.

I wonder, what LLVM's stance on this is.

> I believe it is disabled by default on all archs right now?

Yes, it is, you're right. I'd say, it can be enabled by default, where know=
n to
work, and marked with warning elsewhere. But not REMOVED altogether.

> I'm sure nobody will use an ancient i386 only machine

There are valid reasons to use i386 even on modern processors -- such as, f=
or
example, as a small-memory (under 4Gb) VM in a large (64-bit) host.
