> What is the standard term for this kind of inlining which would distinguish it from the inlining already present in the compiler?

There isn't a standard term, because virtually all inliners always did what Go is now doing. It's pretty basic functionality.

Really? I feel like every C++ compiler I've used has given very unreliable stacktraces with optimizations enabled.
Do most compilers preserve enough metadata to report accurate stacks?
So they're not avoiding a standard term to be misleading; there simply isn't a standard term to use. Thank you for clarifying.
