nope


Inlining is done on intermediate forms, not on C code.
You could get GCC to give you files with the intermediate form (RTL)
of your programs after inlining has been done, but it you most likely
will not be able to read it.
Why would you need this?
You could use ifdefs to swap out inline functions with macros and then
use the preprocessor.
This is not a complete solution though b/c both inline f() and #define
macros have certain abilities that the other does not.


Why would you want to do this? It is silly.
