C++ Inline Functions

• Inline keyword makes the function inline if possible; compiler may decide not to (and it knows better)

• Member functions defined as part of the class definition are inline by default

• Don’t obsess

class c {

private:

int a_p;

public:

// default inline function

int a(void) { return a_p; }

};

inline int max(int a, int b)

{

return (a > b ? a : b);

}
