inline command

Oh that's what you're saying, is it?
Hmmm...
Antareus: Thinking about it, I have probably used the word "lazyness" too broadly. I should have said "convenience", I think.
I was responding to Lektrix' claim that inline improves abstraction and encapsulation, but I got carried away
. I still feel that this is not true, but you're right in that the inline keyword probably has legitimate uses for "convenience".Cédric

No it wasn''t.
CProgrammer asked when he/she should use the keyword inline.
The answer is: It doesn''t matter. If you think something is a good candidate than try it. If you declare it inline, a good compiler will determine if it should be or not, and make the right choice. Worst case scenario, you wasted six keystrokes.
