We're not discussing whether it's generally a bad thing. The specific use 
case under discussion involves a function that does atomic operations. 
Inlining is typically done for performance reasons, and the atomic 
operations typically dominate, rendering the performance gain from the 
inlining irrelevant. So you're only left with the drawbacks.

Not really.
