See __OPTIMIZE__ and __NO_INLINE__ here:
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/cpp/Common-Predefined-Macros.html

However, at <https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Inline.html> it says,
"GCC does not inline any functions when not optimizing unless you
specify the ‘always_inline’ attribute for the function". So,
apparently, if the goal is to turn off inlining when not optimizing,
then we should just use the normal inline attribute.
