@aras heh, when spelunking disassembly recently i noticed we were globally enabling JMC on *release* builds, due to some ancient issue with library versioning. glad i found that before shipping :') msvc sure does have some fun curveballs.
@aras btw it's not mentioned in the blog, but one thing you can often do is enable force inlining on the hot functions, which can help a bit since for most compilers that applies on the no optimizations build as well.
@aras@dotstdy AFAIK, you can't. Even __forceinline is a hint to the compiler, albeit a very strong one. It will, however, honour that hint in almost all cases.
@aras@molecularmusing@dotstdy I think there is a command line option you can use to control how inlining works, it might work even in debug compile on msvc. Not close to a compiler to be able to check myself at the moment.
