Re: RFC: GCC plugin to find encrypted function pointer calls in glibc

(1) static inline wrapper with function attribute:

For a representative set of architectures, say x86_64, i686, ppc64,
s390x, aarch64, and arm, does a 4.7 or newer compiler do as good a
job with a static inline function as it does with the macro that
evaluates to a bare assembly?

We need both because the inline function cannot be type-generic. There would have to be a macro wrapping the inline function, with an appropriate cast to preserve the function pointer type.
