Attempt to support GCC's -fdevirtualize

I typed a long post about my observations, but then I had an idea, that basically was right. Made a pull request

Third, I've seen problems with inlining functions. I had to move a few functions out-of-line because of crashes. I can't explain why it avoids the crash.

That was the culprit.

Fourth, I've never tried -fdevirtualize

It's a part of -O2. :)

OK, thanks. That's good to know.

I'm trying to track down a rare crash in SHA. The only person experiencing it is our Debian package maintainer who regularly uses Sid. -fdevirtualize is on the top of my hit list.

Zireael - how do you want us to give you credit in the Readme and source files? Is "Zireael N" OK, or do you want something else?

By the way, your fix cleared that obscure hang on Debian that I was chasing for weeks.

Glad to hear that!

Just "Zireael" is enough.

I've also updated the bug report on GCC's bugzilla. Hopefully, they'll look into that.

I got confirmation from the Debian folks today. It cleared the issue.

Thanks again. I owe you a cold beer if you make it to my area. Baltimore MD/Washington DC or New York.

Haha, I wish I could! I'm not from the US.
