    Edit: Not sure why this is being downvoted.

    Perhaps because it would do better, being replaced with noop.

    A link time optimiser might actually do so.

      That’s kind of what I meant by putting “subroutine” in quotes. You obviously wouldn’t write it like this, you’d just use a random large number with a bit of explanation.

      Oh well, live and learn. I’ll try to be clearer next time.
