Hi,

The example make.conf has a comment about BDECFLAGS variable, which is

make buildworld fails (inline is not defined). Is this variable

Yes, you misunderstood.  If you are developing FreeBSD you can enable 
this in your code for high levels of compiler strictness, to chase out 
possible bugs in your code.  The FreeBSD build process itself already 
enables suitable levels of warnings in individual makefiles.

Though very useful, the BDECFLAGS are a bit old.
The problem here is that inline is a C99 feature, while the BDECFLAGS
contain the -ansi switch, which rejects all programs not conforming with
the C90 standard.
I'm sure that inline is not the only thing of FreeBSD which isn't
conforming to ansi C (not to say that's a bad thing).

As a remark, I would suggest not only to use them in developing FreeBSD,
but also in developing /*on*/ FreeBSD.

 
 Thanks a lot,
 Andrey
