Sometimes I collect a piece of code in a procedure that is called just once, only to provide a "descriptive name" to that piece of code. Of course, it is not efficient
It depends on your compiler: in C, if you write said function as static inline, the compiler might insert it in your code (it is said to be as fast as macros).
I graduated in 1990 in Electrical Engineering and since then I have been in university, doing research in the field of DSP. To me programming is more a tool than a job.
You're right. I think that many compilers could do that autonomously during the optimization phase. If I remember correctly gcc does this unless you specify an option.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
