Given that, IIUC, boost::function has to do indirect call somewhere anyway, I'm not sure inlining is such a good idea. Maybe some of the methods should be declared out-of-line, so that compiler don't try to inline them?
If I can find a way to do it that won't break many compilers (e,g,, MSVC 6 that can't handle out-of-line definitions for templates) I'll do this for 1.32.0; otherwise, it'll have to wait until after the release.
Maybe, we can #ifdef MSVC6 and use inline definition on that comlier? I've tried the attached patch and each call now costs about 20bytes (even 14 on 3.4), which is quite an improvement. - Volodya
