@gilles-peskine-arm, I hope that this solves your issues with MSVC and IAR. Could you try it out? Btw, feel free to tag @pq-code-package/pqcp-mldsa-native-admin for issues like this in the future. We'll try to help if we have some spare cycles. This time we only saw it coincidentally. |

Restructure `MLD_INLINE` and `MLD_ALWAYS_INLINE` into separate blocks, each independently guarded: `MLD_INLINE`: - MSVC: `__inline` - C99 or `inline` macro defined: `inline` - GCC/Clang C90: `__attribute__((unused))` to silence warnings - Other C90: empty `MLD_ALWAYS_INLINE`: - MSVC: `__forceinline` - GCC/Clang C99+: `MLD_INLINE __attribute__((always_inline))` - Other: `MLD_INLINE` (no forced inlining) This fixes two issues: 1. If `inline` was defined as a macro before including sys.h, the MSVC check was bypassed and `__attribute__` was used, causing MSVC failures. 2. For non-MSVC/GCC/Clang compilers like IAR, `__attribute__` was used unconditionally, causing build failures. Also fix typo: `defined(clang)` -> `defined(__clang__)` Signed-off-by: Matthias J.
