static functions

[grid]

Hi,
Does the below statement hold true always/mostly :
Use of "static" suppresses the generation of function bodies for
uncalled functions, including those for which all calls have been
inlined !!

Thanks,

Probably true if optimization is turned on in compiler. If a static
function was not called there is no use for it since it cannot be
called from outside of the file ("the file" may be invalid term here).

Of course also providing that the address of the function was not
taken.

I don't have access to the documentation of your compiler, so I can't
tell you.

The C language does not guarantee such a thing though.
