Tree based inlining

Wed Oct 31 19:02:00 GMT 2001

Has anyone considered converting GCJ to use the tree-based inliner, 
which was recently liberated from cp/ ?
It seems that we would be able to fix the "GCJ only inlines functions 
that have already been seen" bug, and the inliner itself looks fairly 
generic and easy to use.
It does contain this comment:
/* This should be eventually be generalized to other languages, but
 this would require a shared function-as-trees infrastructure. */
But GCJ does use functions as trees and its representation is 
more-or-less the same as C and C++, right? Does anyone know of a reason 
why it wouldn't work?
