/* This file contains definitions for language-independent

     - The enumeral corresponding to this parameter.

     - The name that can be used to set this parameter using the 
       command-line option `--param <name>=<value>'.

     - A help string explaining how the parameter is used.

     - A default value for the parameter.

   Be sure to add an entry to invoke.texi summarizing the parameter.  */

/* The single function inlining limit. This is the maximum size
   of a function counted in internal gcc instructions (not in
   real machine instructions) that is eligible for inlining
   by the tree inliner.
   The default value is 300.
   Only functions marked inline (or methods defined in the class
   definition for C++) are affected by this, unless you set the
   -finline-functions (included in -O3) compiler option.
   There are more restrictions to inlining: If inlined functions
   call other functions, the already inlined instructions are
   counted and once the recursive inline limit (see 
   "max-inline-insns" parameter) is exceeded, the acceptable size
   gets decreased.  */

   This is done by a linear function, see "max-inline-slope" parameter.
   It is necessary in order to limit the compile-time resources, that 
   could otherwise become very high.
   It is recommended to set this value to twice the value of the single
   function limit (set by the "max-inline-insns-single" parameter) or
   higher. The default value is 600.
   Higher values mean that more inlining is done, resulting in
   better performance of the code, at the expense of higher 
   compile-time resource (time, memory) requirements and larger
   binaries.  
   This parameters also controls the maximum size of functions considered
