Hello.
As per my understanding, an inline function is replaced in place by the
compiler with the body of the function, so it does not have a separate
location in memory in contrast with a regular function. This being so,
how is it possible to extract a pointer to an inline function and
effectively use it?
See the attached two examples. They work and though it's a good thing
for my project that I can extract a pointer to an inline function I do
not understand how it is possible.
Whenever you request a pointer to an inline function the compiler will
place a normal subroutine version of the inline's implementation in an
object file and return its address. So, effectively, the function
pointer does not point to an inline function at all.
