Error: inlining failed in call to test::~test

[yhw]

Using x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc-4.7.2-release-win64_rubenvb.7z on Windows 7 x64.

I compile my C++ program with both -Winline and -Werror flags enabled because I highly rely on inlining and want to manually control it. If gcc can't inline some functions, I get a error message, increase various inline related limits and compile again until all functions that I marked as "inline" are actually inlined. But sometimes I get strange error messages. Try this code for example:

#include <string>
struct test {
    test(int, char **) { }
    std::string a;
    std::string b;
};
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
    test t(argc, argv);
    return 0;
}

> g++ -O2 -Wall -Wextra -Werror -Winline -std=c++11 test.cpp -o test.exe
test.cpp: In function 'int main(int, char**)':
test.cpp:3:8: error: inlining failed in call to 'test::~test() noexcept (true)': call is unlikely and code size would grow [-Werror=inline]
test.cpp:13:10: error: called from here [-Werror=inline]
cc1plus.exe: all warnings being treated as errors

As you can see, the class test has no explicitly defined destructor. So I don't care if gcc is unable to inline it. Moreover, if I define the destructor like this

struct test {
    test(int, char **) { }
    ~test() { }
    std::string a;
    std::string b;
};

gcc compiles it without any warnings despite the fact that the destructor is still implicitly inline.

I'm not sure if this is a mingw or gcc bug. Maybe std::string is somehow related to it. Any ideas?

Tried x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc-4.8-unstable-win64_rubenvb.7z, the warning is not shown there. But I can't compile boost with it, so it's useless for me so far.
