I've been trying to understand what that really means :
inline function
In C++, a member function defined in the class declaration. (2) A function call that the compiler replaces with the actual code for the function. The keyword inline can be used to hint to the compiler to perform inline expansion of the body of a member or nonmember function.
inline
To replace a function call with a copy of the function's code during compilation.
For example it is written something like :
When a method is final, it may be inlined.
Here : http://www.roseindia.net/javatutorials/final_methods.shtml
Can you give me an example or something or basically help me to understand what "it may be inlined" means.
Thanks.
