This is supposed to be gcc-compatible when gcc is using the -std=c99 option. + +- A function declared with only the inline keyword will create neither internal nor external linkage. +- If declared with the extern keyword the function will have external linkage. +- If declared with the static keyword it will have internal linkage. If never referenced it will never be written out. + +Without optimization turned on, a function declared inline will never be inlined. +With optimization (-xinline), pcc will try to inline the function if possible, if not possible a function with a local label will be generated.
