My current thoughts.
- if the function is not defined (no implementation) then inline will
define the function.

inline int f(){ return 1; }
inline int f(){ return 1; } //error already defined

- if the function is already defined somewhere then it is just a
"view" of the code. (This view can be used to "inline code")


extern int f();
inline int f(){ return 1; } //ok


- if a inline function is declared and not define at current file then
it is a warning
inline int f();//warning
