>Good to hear that. Is somebody currently working on that? It could make a big difference with graphical applications (System.Drawing.Point and System.Drawing.PointF) as well as with numerical applications (Complex) and financial applications (System.Decimal).
I am implementing a 2D game engine, and for blitting and such structs are often used (Point, Rectangle, etc), so that would be of great interrest to me, too. But how does (or will) this inlining exactly work? Is it already done by the JITter or the compiler, or do I have to do it myself?
You would not have to do anything. All small methods that do not contain complex stuff like loops or exception handling would be inlined. Instant factor 4 speed boost :-)
General guidelines on what you have to do to increase the chances of things being inlined can be found here (under "method inlining")

This is for the current microsoft JIT, but I guess that similar rules apply for mono.
