Answer / subhashish sen
The inline function is a special function which is basically
used for small function body.If a function with large body
is defined as inline then it would be treated as a normal
function.
The advantage is that the code gets inserted at the place of
function call so it will reduce the time taken for control
to go back and forth from function call to function
definition.So as a result it will make execution faster.
Note: When we declare a function as inline we merely send a
request to the compiler,so its up to the compiler whether
our request is is accepted or not.So its better to define an
inline function for a small function.

Answer / prakash bora
The idea behind inline functions is to insert the code of a
called function at the point where the function is called.
If done carefully, this can improve the application's
performance in exchange for increased compile time and
possibly (but not always) an increase in the size of the
generated binary executables.

Answer / p suresh kumar
The __inline keyword tells the compiler to substitute the
code within the function definition for every instance of a
function call.
However, substitution occurs only at the compiler’s
discretion.
For example, the compiler does not inline a function if
its address is taken or if it is too large to inline.
