It would be completely weird that in an inline procedure the compiler

However, it wouldn't be weird at all if the inlined procedure simply
moves the stack pointer by some delta to enlarge the current frame,
then references all of its locals with respect to the current frame,
and then moves the stack pointer back by the same delta upon
termination to release the storage.

That is normal, but that is not a stack frame!

That is just increasing the stack, like when you use
alloca().

That function (alloca()) doesn't create a stack frame.
