In addition to inline function optimization of unmanaged and native code we can see similar approach to JIT-compiled code:
public class ClassMain
{
public bool time2stop = false;
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
new ClassMain().Main();
}
public void Main()
{
while (!time2stop)
{
DoWork();
}
}
volatile int inSensor, outSensor;
void DoWork()
{
outSensor ^= inSensor;
}
}

We see that DoWork code was inlined into Main function code.
