[patch] compiler, clang: move inline definition to compiler-gcc.h

Show all headers | View raw

The motivation of commit abb2ea7dfd82 ("compiler, clang: suppress warning 
for unused static inline functions") is to suppress clang's warnings about 
unused static inline functions.

Clang defines __GNUC__ so it inherits all of compiler-gcc.h as well, so 
the redefinition of `inline' ends up overriding the definition in 
compiler-gcc.h.

Simply annotate all inline functions as __attribute__((unused)).  It's 
necessary to suppress the warning for clang and is implicit with gcc.
