I realize that my question has no relation to Cocoa, but it's still
the place where I can get the fastest answer :)

Oleg,

Here are my thoughts:

1) I'm certainly no compiler expert, but I believe that 'static' will defeat 'inline', and make the function's symbol local to the module to boot.

2) 'inline' is just a hint and the compiler can be very picky. If the function is too complex (i.e. more than just a few statements) the compiler is well within its rights to compile it as a normal function and ignore in the inline directive.

3) I think #define is only the solution guaranteed to accomplish what you want.

4) I seriously doubt that you're going to accomplish anything beyond slowing crackers down for a few minutes. In fact, I'm guessing that you'll spend more time working on this than the crackers will.
