           Summary: Functions used to initialize variables are not inlined.
           Product: D
           Version: 0.150
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major

/*
   Compile with -O -inline -release
   This program compares performance of 2 loops, one initializing a
    scope local variable w/ a function and the other not.
   The function used as an initializer is not inlined.
   There is about a 11x difference on my system.
