# inline-min-caller-growth, Qinline-min-caller-growth

Lets you specify a procedure size n for which procedures of size <= n do not contribute to the estimated growth of the caller when inlined. This feature is only available for ifort.

## Syntax

Linux: | -inline-min-caller-growth=n

macOS: | -inline-min-caller-growth=n

Windows: | /Qinline-min-caller-growth=n

## Arguments

n | Is a non-negative integer. When n > 0, procedures with a size of n are treated as if they are size 0.

## Default

-inline-min-caller-growth=0 or /Qinline-min-caller-growth=0 | The compiler treats procedures as if they have size zero.

## Description

This option lets you specify a procedure size n for which procedures of size <= n do not contribute to the estimated growth of the caller when inlined. It allows you to inline procedures that the compiler would otherwise consider too large to inline.

### Note

We recommend that you choose a value of n <= 10; otherwise, compile time and code size may greatly increase.
