Subject: [PATCH v2] fortran: add INLINE and ALWAYS_INLINE attributes

gfortran already understands the !GCC$ ATTRIBUTES NOINLINE directive to
suppress inlining of a procedure, but there was no way to request the
opposite.  This adds two attributes:

    !GCC$ ATTRIBUTES inline :: my_procedure
    !GCC$ ATTRIBUTES always_inline :: my_procedure

INLINE is a plain hint equivalent to the C inline keyword and only sets
DECL_DECLARED_INLINE_P, so the inliner's size limits still apply.
ALWAYS_INLINE corresponds to the C always_inline attribute and
additionally sets DECL_DISREGARD_INLINE_LIMITS.  Since Fortran has no
inline keyword, DECL_DECLARED_INLINE_P is set explicitly.  Setting only
DECL_DISREGARD_INLINE_LIMITS would make the middle-end warn that the
always-inline function might not be inlinable.

INLINE and ALWAYS_INLINE are incompatible with NOINLINE.  In the
middle-end the DECL_UNINLINABLE flag set by NOINLINE always wins, so the
inline request would be silently ignored.  To avoid that surprise the
directive parser warns and drops the inline attribute when both are
applied to the same procedure, whether in one directive or in two.

The new EXT_ATTR_* values are appended at the end of the enum because the
symbol_attribute.ext_attr bitmask is written to module files.  Appending
preserves the existing bit positions and keeps modules written by older
gfortran readable.

Bootstrapped and regtested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu with
--enable-languages=c,c++,fortran.  All three stages built and the
stage 2 and 3 comparison succeeded.  The gfortran testsuite shows no
regressions (75660 expected passes, 339 expected failures, 0 unexpected
failures) and the four new tests pass.

gcc/fortran/ChangeLog:

	* gfortran.h (enum ext_attr_id_t): Add EXT_ATTR_INLINE and
	EXT_ATTR_ALWAYS_INLINE at the end.  Document that new attributes
	must be appended to preserve module compatibility.
	* decl.cc (ext_attr_list): Add "inline" and "always_inline".
	(gfc_match_gcc_attributes): Warn about and drop INLINE or
	ALWAYS_INLINE when combined with NOINLINE on the same symbol.
	* trans-decl.cc (build_function_decl): Handle EXT_ATTR_INLINE and
	EXT_ATTR_ALWAYS_INLINE by setting DECL_DECLARED_INLINE_P, and
	DECL_DISREGARD_INLINE_LIMITS for ALWAYS_INLINE.
	* gfortran.texi (ATTRIBUTES directive): Document INLINE and
	ALWAYS_INLINE.

gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog:

	* gfortran.dg/always_inline_1.f90: New test.
	* gfortran.dg/always_inline_2.f90: New test.
	* gfortran.dg/inline_1.f90: New test.
	* gfortran.dg/inline_2.f90: New test.
