[llvm-dev] always inliner only works when function is called from external function?

[Andrew Kelley via llvm-dev]

Observe:

[nix-shell:~/tmp]$ cat test.ll
define internal fastcc void @foo() {
Entry:
  call fastcc void @bar()
  ret void
}

; Function Attrs: alwaysinline
define internal fastcc void @bar() #0 {
Entry:
  ret void
}

attributes #0 = { alwaysinline }


[nix-shell:~/tmp]$ opt test.ll -always-inline -S
; ModuleID = 'test.ll'
source_filename = "test.ll"

define internal fastcc void @foo() {
Entry:
  call fastcc void @bar()
  ret void
}

; Function Attrs: alwaysinline
define internal fastcc void @bar() #0 {
Entry:
  ret void
}

attributes #0 = { alwaysinline }


If I delete "internal" from foo, then the optimziation pass in fact inlines
bar. Is this intentional? Is there a way to make the always inliner pass
work on internal functions like this too?
