什么时候应该内联:

1.当人们想要避免调用函数时发生的开销，如参数传递，控制传递，控制返回等。

2.函数应该很小，经常被调用，并且内联是非常有利的，因为根据80-20规则，尽量使那些对程序性能有重大影响的函数内联。

正如我们所知，内联只是一个请求编译器类似于注册，它将花费你在对象代码大小。

你要把它放在最开始，在返回类型之前。但是大多数编译器忽略了它。如果它是定义的，并且它的代码块较小，大多数编译器都认为它是内联的。

天啊，我最讨厌的事之一。

内联更像静态或extern，而不是告诉编译器内联函数的指令。Extern, static, inline是链接指令，几乎只由链接器使用，而不是编译器。

据说，内联提示编译器，你认为函数应该内联。这在1998年可能是正确的，但十年后，编译器不需要这样的提示。更不用说，当涉及到优化代码时，人类通常是错误的，所以大多数编译器会忽略“提示”。

static - the variable/function name cannot be used in other translation units. Linker needs to make sure it doesn't accidentally use a statically defined variable/function from another translation unit. extern - use this variable/function name in this translation unit but don't complain if it isn't defined. The linker will sort it out and make sure all the code that tried to use some extern symbol has its address. inline - this function will be defined in multiple translation units, don't worry about it. The linker needs to make sure all translation units use a single instance of the variable/function.

注意:通常，将模板声明为内联是没有意义的，因为它们已经具有内联的链接语义。但是，模板的显式专门化和实例化需要内联使用。

具体问题解答:

When should I write the keyword 'inline' for a function/method in C++? Only when you want the function to be defined in a header. More exactly only when the function's definition can show up in multiple translation units. It's a good idea to define small (as in one liner) functions in the header file as it gives the compiler more information to work with while optimizing your code. It also increases compilation time. When should I not write the keyword 'inline' for a function/method in C++? Don't add inline just because you think your code will run faster if the compiler inlines it. When will the compiler not know when to make a function/method 'inline'? Generally, the compiler will be able to do this better than you. However, the compiler doesn't have the option to inline code if it doesn't have the function definition. In maximally optimized code usually all private methods are inlined whether you ask for it or not. As an aside to prevent inlining in GCC, use __attribute__(( noinline )), and in Visual Studio, use __declspec(noinline). Does it matter if an application is multithreaded when one writes 'inline' for a function/method? Multithreading doesn't affect inlining in any way.

在进行模板特化时，仍然需要显式内联函数(如果特化在.h文件中)

编译时，GCC默认不内联任何函数 启用优化。我不知道visual studio - deft_code

我检查了Visual Studio 9(15.00.30729.01)通过/FAcs编译并查看汇编代码: 编译器产生了对成员函数的调用，而没有在调试模式下启用优化。即使函数被标记为__forceinline，也不会产生内联运行时代码。
