Hi, > Is it mandotary to put "static" before inline which declaring the inline function? No. But your inline function stands a better chance of ACTUALLY being made "inline" by the compiler if it knows that it is static (and hence is not used anywhere else) Thanks, Rajat -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
