inlined function not getting deleted

[flocsy]

import Toybox.Lang;
import Toybox.WatchUi;

class OptiBug {
    var labelUnitString as String;
    var label as String;

    function initialize(measureId as Number) {
        self.labelUnitString = "foo";
        self.label = getLabel();
    }

    (:inline)
    hidden function getLabel() as String {
        var labelSuffix = self.labelUnitString;
        return (WatchUi.loadResource(Rez.Strings.AppName) as String) + labelSuffix;
    }
}

Even though getLabel() gets correctly inlined, the original method is kept (and the only place it is used is in the initialize)

This example works for me, even with Iterate Optimizer disabled.

Is it possible that you have another method called getLabel (in another class or module) that doesn't get eliminated? The optimizer is quite conservative when it comes to eliminating class methods - it won't eliminate it if it sees a possible reference from elsewhere (and yes, I realize that "possible references" from outside the class can't actually reference it, because its hidden).

Yes I have getLabel() in my barrel. So can you fix this? Or is there a workaround? I tried self.getLabel() but that doesn't help. OK, well the obvious one worked: renamed it to getMyLabel().

However a warning similar to the blue: "While inlining foo: This function can only be inlined in statement,..." would be very useful!

So can you fix this

Yes, and I hope to do so. But doing it correctly is a fairly large project, and I may not get around to it for a while.

well the obvious one worked

Yes

However a warning similar to the blue...

That should be easy. I can just issue a diagnostic for any inline function that gets output. It doesn't take any analysis.
