Since the one true answer has yet to be posted, allow me:


A Study of a C Function Inliner
Jack W. Davidson and Anne M. Holler
University of Virginia


Heaven knows where I got this paper, probably heard they were working
on it through the grapevine.


I got a copy of the INLINER program from them for a small fee and
one UNIX(tm) proof-of-purchase seal.


You can get a copy by contacting Jack Davidson using either of:


jwd@virginia.edu
uunet!virginia!jwd
(804)924-7605


Two years ago, when I first used it, it did a fine job. Since then
Anne Holler has been improving it. By now I'm sure it'll
be more than adequate for you needs.
