Package: libnl-dev
Version: 1.1-5
Severity: minor
Hi,
The public header file /usr/include/netlink/object.h contains an
'inline' token on a forward declaration of a function that is not
implemented in the header file itself.
An inline function is a function that is not actually compiled and
linked as a function, but rather has its code copied into the program on
the location where it is used. While the usefulness of using the
'inline' keyword is debatable (modern optimizing compilers have pretty
good heuristics to determine whether or not a function is better off if
inlined, and will in fact do so even without the keyword if an
appropriate level of optimization has been selected), the very nature of
what it means to have a function be inlined makes it impossible for an
inline function to be part of a shared library's API.
As such, declaring a function to be 'inline' in a public header file
serves no useful purpose.
This is caught be the -Wall option to gcc, which makes it unnecessarily
harder for libnl-using code to be compiled with -Wall -Werror, generally
good practice for C programmers.
