gcc v8:
add/remove: 1/0 grow/shrink: 0/1 up/down: 99/-164 (-65)
Function                                     old     new   delta
engine_sample                                  -      99     +99
i915_sample                                  871     707    -164

Which is compelling. Is gcc 9 simliar?

Given the above reduction, I find it hard to argue with.
