Abstract
This paper describes critical implementation issues that must be addressed to develop a fully automatic inliner. These issues are: integration into a compiler, program representation, hazard prevention, expansion sequence control, and program modi cation. An automatic inter- le inliner that uses pro le information has been implemented and integrated into an optimizing C compiler. The experimental results show that this inliner achieves signi cant speedups for production C programs.
