<ul>
|

|
|
<li> <cite>The extent to which suggestions made by using the <code>register</code>
|
||
|
|
storage-class specifier are effective (C90 6.5.1, C99 and C11 6.7.1).</cite>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The <code>register</code> specifier affects code generation only in these ways:
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li> When used as part of the register variable extension, see
|
||
|
|
<a href="Explicit-Register-Variables.html#Explicit-Register-Variables">Explicit Register Variables</a>.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
</li><li> When <samp>-O0</samp> is in use, the compiler allocates distinct stack
|
||
|
|
memory for all variables that do not have the <code>register</code>
|
||
|
|
storage-class specifier; if <code>register</code> is specified, the variable
|
||
|
|
may have a shorter lifespan than the code would indicate and may never
|
||
|
|
be placed in memory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
</li><li> On some rare x86 targets, <code>setjmp</code> doesn’t save the registers in
|
||
|
|
all circumstances. In those cases, GCC doesn’t allocate any variables
|
||
|
|
in registers unless they are marked <code>register</code>.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
</li></ul>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
</li><li> <cite>The extent to which suggestions made by using the inline function
|
||
|
|
specifier are effective (C99 and C11 6.7.4).</cite>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>GCC will not inline any functions if the <samp>-fno-inline</samp> option is
|
||
|
|
used or if <samp>-O0</samp> is used. Otherwise, GCC may still be unable to
|
||
|
|
inline a function for many reasons; the <samp>-Winline</samp> option may be
|
||
|
|
used to determine if a function has not been inlined and why not.
