> Yes. Inline needs to be declared at the declaration however and not the
implementation and any function or method that uses it (in the same unit)
needs to come afterwards if you want it to be inlined (for other units that
doesn't matter as long as you don't have circular dependencies, cause then
things get messy). On addition to that "inline" is only a hint for the
compiler, so there might be cases when the compiler decides not to inline.

Oh and it obviously won't work with virtual methods.
