Re: Book on low level program optimization

When is it harmful to make too many subroutine calls? (c++ allows me
to make "inline functions", but fortran does not. Does that make a
difference?)

If this means what I think it means (i.e.replace all FUNCTION calls by
inline code), then this feature has been in FORTRAN for at least forty
years; it is known as statement functions.

Many FORTRAN intrinsics generate inline code (e.g.SIGN)

.
