Nope. MSVC does *not* support 'inline' for functions. Quoting <http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/z8y1yy88%28v=vs.71%29.aspx>: "The inline keyword is available only in C++. The __inline and __forceinline keywords are available in both C and C++. For compatibility with previous versions, _inline is a synonym for __inline." This is what I see with MSVC 9: $ cat foo.c inline int square (int x) { return x * x; } $ cl -nologo foo.c -c foo.c foo.c(1) : error C2054: Nach 'inline' muss '(' folgen foo.c(2) : error C2085: 'square': Nicht in der formalen Parameterliste enthalten foo.c(2) : error C2143: Syntaxfehler: Es fehlt ';' vor '{' $ cl -nologo foo.c -c -Dinline=_inline foo.c $ cl -nologo foo.c -c -Dinline=__inline foo.c So, for functions, in C mode, it does understand '_inline' and '__inline' but not 'inline'.
