13.40 INLINE Pragma

The INLINE pragma specifies whether a subprogram invocation is to be inlined.

Inlining replaces a subprogram invocation with a copy of the invoked subprogram (if the invoked and invoking subprograms are in the same program unit).

Note:

The INLINE pragma affects only the immediately following declaration or statement, and only some kinds of statements. For details, see "Subprogram Inlining".
