This is also a fair point, though as far as I know, LLVM doesn't keep API compatibility either between releases, so downstream users should expect that their code will need adjustments.

Actually a release build compiled with `-O2` or `-O3` should have this function inlined already, so the stack frame is not created. As for the others, I'm not sure if that will be a significant or even a measurable performance improvement. When it comes to speeding up execution, the rule of thumb is to always measure it though.

[D131707](https://reviews.llvm.org/D131707) is/was a patch, where improving runtime speed came up as a discussion too. It contains some points about performance bottlenecks in the analyzer, tips on how to get started with profiling, etc. If you're interested in such stuff, it might worth taking a look at.
