Hm - it's not that clear to me that it is irrelevant that the function
gets inlined. The compiler should know that isinf is side-effect free,
and that it doesn't have to evaluate before necessary.
Normally isinf is implemented by a compiler intrisic within the system
headers. But not in your profile:

I checked, and I don't see any references to isinf from within float.c
(looking at the disassembly - there's some debug strings containing the
word, but that's it).
What compiler & compiler version on what kind of architecture is this?
