Constant Functions says:

Calls made using & are never inlined.

I can't understand to what cases it applies to though.

Calls made using & are never inlined. ... I can't understand to what cases it applies to though. In this case, this would require one to edit AnyEvent::DNS and change lines such as `my $sa = AnyEvent::Socket::pack_sockaddr (DOMAIN_PORT, $server);` to `my $sa = AnyEvent::Socket::pack_sockaddr (&DOMAIN_PORT(), $server);`.

> I can't understand to what cases it applies to though. `&foo` is disabling any prototype checks on `foo` calls at compile time. But constant folding requires an empty prototype `()` to rule out any side effects at run-time. (Though I never tried playing around with other side effects like returning a closure var) Like HaukeX said, this doesn't help here, because you'd need to patch the source.
