Reasons are e.g.
a) recursively calling an inlined procedure
b) a procedure containing an assembler block
c) calling an procedure which is declared inline before its  
implementation has been parsed (can be both because it's in another  
unit of which only the interface has been parsed, or in the current  
unit but the implementation has been parsed yet)

In the future, other less straightforward rules may be added as well  
(like "the compiler thinks the code would probably get slower rather  
than faster if this function is inlined").

How? I think it's completely useless if you have no idea what it's  
caused by and what to do about it.
