/**
* A method or constructor may be annotated as "don't inline" if the inlining of
* this method should not be performed by the HotSpot VM.
* <p>
* This annotation must be used sparingly. It is useful when the only
* reasonable alternative is to bind the name of a specific method or
* constructor into the HotSpot VM for special handling by the inlining policy.
* This annotation must not be relied on as an alternative to avoid tuning the
* VM's inlining policy. In a few cases, it may act as a temporary workaround
* until the profiling and inlining performed by the HotSpot VM is sufficiently
* improved.
*
* @implNote
* This annotation only takes effect for methods or constructors of classes
* loaded by the boot loader. Annotations on methods or constructors of classes
* loaded outside of the boot loader are ignored.
