My point is that the real issue is just whether or not the function call is compiled as part of the same unit as the function. If it is, then, certainly, modern C compilers can inline functions called via function pointers. The inlining its

No, but it serves as a sense check on the other data. If the official stats were bogus and crime were spiraling out of control in London, it would be somewhat surprising to see homicides going down . The fact that one of the most objective

Ok, but please just do a quick search and check your facts before kicking off a long discussion thread on a false basis. I promise you that a lot of the pushback you're getting from Brits is down to the factual inaccuracies and exagger

Ok, so we can either listen to (i) people who live in London, or (ii) people who left London because they were victims of a crime. I'm genuinely sorry that you were the victim of a crime, but people in group (ii) are obviously likely

Claims about certain categories of crime rising or falling in England are usually based on the Crime Survey for England and Wales, which is not based on police reports, but on surveying a random sample of people to see if they have been sel

Yes, it’s correct. Violent crime in London and the UK more generally has been on a long term downward trend. This is not incompatible with there being spikes in some specific categories of crime. But it’s consistent with the trends for homi

Over here, the police have fatally shot a grand total of 88 people in England and Wales since 1990 . So yeah, police shootings are pretty big news, and while they are sometimes justified, people certainly would get outraged by anything res

Yes sure, it’s a simplification to say that elections always directly determine who the Prime Minister is, and I probably should have been clearer on that point. However, this difference between a parliamentary system and a presidential one

It's wild that America is having a political 'debate' about this. We've all seen the videos. The woman was murdered in cold blood. In any sane society everyone would be united in condemning this officer's actions.
