Tool to automatically inline JavaScript function calls?

Let the JIT figure things like inlining out fr you. Inlining can easily worsen the performance by killing cache performance.

Also, unless you have identified the actual bottlenecks, doing premature optimization like this is hardly ever worth it.

I hardly believe that this "technique" speeds up any execution time. At least not in a real-world scenario. The Blog might be right about code-size & Gzipping tho.

Anyway, I don't think any Javascript minification/compressor will do this alot. The reason is simple and very obvious in the example provided. By replacing the function call with the actually function code, you're setting things into another context. This might end up very evil. What if the parent function(-context) already declares and uses a variable named foo. If the same variable is used within the other function you might overwrite that and cause errors.

Even worse if there is some use of try/catch or eval blocks which creates an additional context with a carefully expressed "dynamic scope" (which is actually not available in ecma-script). However, in this scenario it's pretty much impossible for a JIT or any Javascript implementation to optimize anything.
