Oh, and I noticed that the patch doesn't come with a test, we'll need one before getting
the patch in. There are already some skip tests at testsuite/gdb.base/skip*.exp, so I
could very well imagine a new test named gdb.base/skip-inline.exp.
See these pages for details on how to write and run tests:
- https://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/GDBTestcaseCookbook
- https://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/TestingGDB
If you can't manage to make a test, at the very least please provide a minimal reproducer
so somebody else will be able to translate that into a test.
Thanks,
Simon
