What is the inline function?

celina

 Hi i am celina, and i am interested in software field. so i have a question like a coding. What is the inline function?

 




  • Hello.

    I consider this quote from the wikipedia article to be helpful:

    "In various versions of the C and C++ programming languages, an inline function is a function upon which the compiler has been requested to perform inline expansion. In other words, the programmer has requested that the compiler insert the complete body of the function in every place that the function is called, rather than generating code to call the function in the one place it is defined. Compilers are not obligated to respect this request."

    and also this:

    "Inline expansion is used to eliminate the time overhead when a function is called. It is typically used for functions that execute frequently."
