I have "inline" on both places also on declaration

Yes it comes afterwards

In my case it is not virtual method.

But I forgot to mention, that it is method of generic object:

   generic T2DArray<T> = object
    ...
     public
       constructor Init(oobMode: TOutOfBoundsMode); overload;
       constructor Init(x,y: integer); overload;
       ...
       function Data(x,y: integer): PElement; overload; inline;
   end;

So what can be a case, that method is not inlined, can it be track down 
or is there something which I can do to force inlining ?
