Hi Devang,

probably best not to talk about thresholds here.  How about:
"This attribute instructs the inliner to always inline this function if it can".

> +<dd>This attribute suggests optimization passes and code generator passes to 
> +make choices that help reduce code size.</dd>

How about:
"This attribute tells the optimizers and code generators that reducing code
size is more important than making the function fast".

function attribute -> attribute
This indicates to LLVM -> This tells LLVM

> +<dt><tt>nounwind</tt></dt>

function attribute -> attribute

> +<dt><tt>readonly</tt></dt>

function attribute -> attribute

> +  /// hasFnAttr - Return true if this function has given attribute.

given attribute -> the given attribute

Ciao,
