While the legal stuff will probably need more time,
I quickly wrote a test case for this. Hope this helps to understand
how the patch works.
Attached you'll find a test case for the skip of inline functions,
I also added a test for the glitch in the first version of the patch.
(counting step over skipped inlined functions wrong)
Thanks

Instead of -O2, could you make this use -O0 (the default),
and then use attribute((always_inline)) to force inlining?
We do that in some tests. E.g., gdb.opt/inline-locals.c.
Quickly skimming the patch, I noticed a number of duplicated
test names. See:
https://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/GDBTestcaseCookbook#Make_sure_test_messages_are_unique

I think that's a good suggestion, but just be aware that there used to be
some problems with always_inline, e.g.:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13263
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12429
I'm not sure if those are still valid. If they are, it might be more difficult
that expected to use always_inline.

I don't think always_inline changes anything in the debug info special,
it just tells the compiler to inline the function even at -O0, which is
what we're after.

This one seems to be about attribute((artificial)), and the desire
to not step into such functions automatically:
"Given that I marked the function always_inline and artificial, I
was expecting not to step into its body."

This one seems like a generic inlining issue.

I don't think always_inline is anything special compared to inlining
because of -O2.
