[Lazarus] Run/Compile ignores changes in inline functions

It seems that if I change something within a function that is declared inline and I then use run/compile in Lazarus it does not rebuild this function. I have to use run/build to see my changes in the program. Is this a known issue? -- ___ Lazarus

[Lazarus] Improving UTF8CharacterLength?

I just had a closer look at the function UTF8CharacterLength in unit LazUTF8. To me it looks as if it can be improved (made faster) because it checks too many things. According to https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-8 the number of bytes of an UTF-8-character should be computable by the first
