Yes, according to the documentation: 'The compiler will observe the notinline declaration, however, so you can suppress inlining of specific functions if you want'.

I don't see any portability problem in using a global compiler switch to turn automatic inlining off at development time. Finally I have found in the documentation a compiler switch that does the job:

However this doesn't seem to be applied to defstruct accessors (default setting for safety and speed is 1). I'll send a bug report for this. Notice the initial comp:verify-non-generic-switch function works correctly : ;; 4 arguments function : safety, space, speed, and debug comp:verify-non-generic-switch ;;;> #<Function SPEED < 3 OR SAFETY > 1 @ #x2006871a> (funcall comp:verify-non-generic-switch 1 1 1 1) ;;;> t (funcall comp:verify-non-generic-switch 1 1 3 1) ;;;> nil Thank you, Francis Leboutte www.algo.be Visit www.climatevoice.org and take action
