It's not the only one. Some are even smart enough to recognize that a
function is only used once (or maybe it's short and only used a few times)
and inline it during their normal optimization automatically, even if it's
not declared inline.

But then, you can't really expect that people who like to do that manually,
and in assembly, consider such details :)
