If you worry about performance, you should advise your compiler to inline the function.

That doesn't help much if someone manages to change O (n) to O (n^6). And both with gcc and Clang I have found situations where a really performance critical inner loop ran significantly faster when inlining was prevented.

O(n^6) Wow! I'd like to see how someone managed to accomplish that! I've once written an O(n^8) but I had no choice--I was validating a dataset to ensure there were no dead ends. Given the sparseness of paths through it it only took overnight.
