Keeping the interface and implementation declarations the same is the best approach. Inline currently always changes the definition anyway (as far as the compiler is concerned) because the implementation becomes part of the definition once it's parsed. In the future, this may however change to prevent unexpected recompilations (http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=19673 ).
