inline functions

[Gerald Needell]

Can somone tell me if I'm barking up the wrong tree here.
My saga began sevearl posts back with problems  using the "debug" 
version of RTEMS. In digging, I have found that my application is dying 
in when trying to release heap space. The code involved uses several 
"inline" functions (..c/src/exec/score/inline/rtems/score/heap.inl).  In 
reading the gcc docs, I found that when optimization is turned off, then 
so is "inlining" so all of these functions are going in as normal code. 
My question is, is this liketly to be causing my problems? The failure 
seems to occur when the address of a heap block is calculated and it 
times up non-word aligned. I am trying to persue this in two directions. 
One, the excess stack usage by these function not being inline is 
causing the problem and I'm clobbering a pointer or two, the unoptimized 
compilation of the functions is produing a legitimate alignment problem.

  So the reason for the post is can anyone tell me if this makes any 
sense or do you have any suggestions.

thanks - Jerry
