It doesn't really matter if you add inline or not. The C standard
specifies inline as a hint and "newer" gcc versions implement it that
way. Of course the hint adds to the heuristic that gcc uses to determine
when to inline or not. For a discussion on "inline" see the "Who is the
best inliner of all?" article on LWN http://lwn.net/Articles/314848/ .
