But the method is still generated into the library even in case that it is always inlined ; it may be difficult to address this with the usual linker settings on Linux (means without linktime-gc or LTO or similar stuff ) .

That is a bit unnerving but if someone were to use this warning to remove code that is used then there would be build or test failures.
