Inline functions generate bodies

1

In the following, even though `bar` is inlined at the call site, the full `bar` function appears in the bytecode:

 
package com.example.test

fun foo() {

  bar()

}


private inline fun bar() {

  println(“one”)

  println(“two”)

}


Output:

Compiled from "Test.kt"
public final class com.example.test.TestKt {
  public static final void foo();
    Code:
       0: nop           
       1: ldc           #8                  // String one
       3: invokestatic  #14                 // Method kotlin/io/ConsoleKt.println:(Ljava/lang/Object;)V
       6: ldc           #16                 // String two
       8: invokestatic  #14                 // Method kotlin/io/ConsoleKt.println:(Ljava/lang/Object;)V
      11: return        



  private static final void bar();

  Code:

  0: ldc           #8                  // String one

  2: invokestatic  #14                 // Method kotlin/io/ConsoleKt.println:(Ljava/lang/Object;)V

  5: ldc           #16                 // String two

  7: invokestatic  #14                 // Method kotlin/io/ConsoleKt.println:(Ljava/lang/Object;)V

  10: return        

}


Is this intended?  If so, is there a way to prevent the function from being generated?

Yes, it is intened. No, skipping generating such functions is not supported (one wouldn't be able to compile against such a binary), but you can remove them with proguard, for example.
