Yeah, gcc, even in -O0, doesn't generate code for inlines that aren't
used, and callcatcher is a simple scraper of the assembler output of
gcc. So gcc never told callcatcher that the inline existed seeing as
nothing made gcc emit code for it. The other similar one that can happen
is code like...

if (1) //or something equivalent
   do_a()
else
   do_b();

and you get "do_b" in the unused list. I kind of like getting those
ones.
