[sdk] Inline?

[CommanderZ]

What sense do all the INLINE functions have? For example

getX_INLINE()

is defined as

#define getX_INLINE	getX

Then getX_INLINE is exactly the same thing as getX, isn't it? Why do they use this so much? What does it mean for me (developer)?

The short answer is, don't worry about it

You can use the various 'INLINE' version to force the compiler to inline the code or you can use the standard function call and rely on the compiler to generate inline code automatically.
