Re^5: Inlining a "lexically-scoped scalar which has no other references"

Well the question "what for" was the next after identfying "what is it"... (I hoped to find a new black magic gadget to play with ;-)

I think the intended logic was "if optimization produces a constant return value, then the value will be inlined"!

Is this a now bug or is it just deprecated and the docs are out of phase?

Consequently: Do I have to start perlbug or do I have to send a mail to pod-people...?

Cheers Rolf

I'd use perlbug, especially since it isn't clear if this is a regression or a doc error (since we can't fathom its use).	[reply]
