The "__builtin_constant_p()" in inline functions would have some things about 20 times easier to optimize for. Right now it's a very useful feature, but it is rather nasty syntactically because you have to hide it inside these macros that easily get to be fairly convoluted..
Richard checked this feature into egcs about 2 months ago. It is used by glibc for it's string.h inline optimizations.
