Thank you Johannes for your suggestion.
In case a call to the function which would contain the code I would like to
paste is inserted into another function, then is it still possible to
simply inline the code?
I would like to avoid calling the function with the "pasted" code. I assume
there is a pass which inlines functions which should be executed later.
Thanks,
Przemek
