well, requiring C99 is another discussion which I'm not so keen on instigating :) As you point out, most of our target platforms probably do support inline already. My question is more of the nature: What about those that don't support inline, is there any harm in defaulting to "static" in that case and leave the inlining to the optimizer on those platforms?
