only if you care about binary compatibility between versions. Since we don't, inline is good :) Especially nice in really performance critical places (where people would typically use a macro). We can debate the sensibilities of the 'inline' keyword and how it (and register) should really just go away as they're just an excuse for a poor optimising compiler. -- Stewart Smith _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~drizzle-discuss Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~drizzle-discuss More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
