Annotation Type ForceInline

@Target(value={METHOD,CONSTRUCTOR})
 @Retention(value=RUNTIME)
public @interface ForceInline

@ForceInline requests that a method or constructor be inlined where possible. It targets library maintainers controlling performance characteristics. The HotSpot JVM ignores custom annotations unless the Chronicle Warmup agent processes the class.

Retention and effect: Retained at runtime but has no direct effect unless recognised by Chronicle warm-up tooling.

  @ForceInline
 static long xor(long a, long b) { return a ^ b; }
 

Large methods or those containing loops may still not inline.
