-## Using AFL++ without inlined instrumentation
-
-  This file describes how you can disable inlining of instrumentation.
-
-
-By default, the GCC plugin will duplicate the effects of calling
-`__afl_trace` (see `afl-gcc-rt.o.c`) in instrumented code, instead of
-issuing function calls.
-
-The calls are presumed to be slower, more so because the rt file
-itself is not optimized by the compiler.
-
-Setting `AFL_GCC_OUT_OF_LINE=1` in the environment while compiling code
-with the plugin will disable this inlining, issuing calls to the
-unoptimized runtime instead.
-
-You probably don't want to do this, but it might be useful in certain
-AFL debugging scenarios, and it might work as a fallback in case
-something goes wrong with the inlined instrumentation.
