Allow inlining in specific headers in debug mode Visual Studio

Question

Is it possible to have a build setting in which specific headers are allowed to be inlined in a debug build? I am using the signal/delegate pattern alot which I test in a separate project. I would like my main project not to show the signal/delegate parts of the callbacks in the call stack when I am hitting a breakpoint. Is it possible to allow inlining functions on a header only library, without optimizing the main project, or is there some other way to filter the calls to the header only library from the call stack interface.

Answer 1

you may try #pragma optimize :

#pragma optimize( "g", {on | off} )

This work on a function-by-function basis.

You will probably need to activate inlining in debug mode, opt-out by default and opt-in for specific functions.
