=====================
Windows 2000
DJGPP 2.03
GNU gcc version 3.2.1
GNU gprof 2.13
=====================


Here is a simple program that has been profiled with using gprof.
We can see that if the program is compiled with option -O3
 then gprof's output doesn't contained called functions foo1() and foo2().

Any explanation ?


========= C code : BEGIN =========
/* File main.c */

int foo1 (int argc) { return argc; }
int foo2 (int argc) { return argc; }

int main(int argc)
{
  return (foo1(argc) + foo2(argc));
}

========= C code : END ===========


========= Compiling & Running : BEGIN =========

% a0.exe
% gprof -b a0.exe
