            Bug ID: 15561
           Summary: -Os increases size because it includes -inline
           Product: clang
           Version: 3.2
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux

          Priority: P
         Component: Driver

Generates huge binary with -Os

Optimization levels -Os and -Oz are supposed to optimize for size, but they are
exactly equivalent to -O2 (as from llvm-as < /dev/null | opt -O...
-disable-output -debug-pass=Arguments)

The problem is that these optimization levels include the -inline optimization
pass which increases the executable size.

For instance, the attached file produces 40x *bigger* binary when compiled with
-Os than with -O0.

clang -Wall -std=c++11 -fconstexpr-depth=65536 -ftemplate-depth=65536 -g0 -s
-O0
> 96408 bytes (96K)

clang -Wall -std=c++11 -fconstexpr-depth=65536 -ftemplate-depth=65536 -g0 -s
-Os
> 4024472 bytes (4M)

Trying different optimization options, I found that the origin of the increased
size is (excessive?) inlining from (-inilne). Although this test-case is
extreme, I don't think -inline should be included in -Os.
