Inline keyword not recognized (+ work-around)

Fri, 19 Sep 1997 20:42:25 +0100 (MET)

Here is a minor problem (bug) in GPC:

According to the GPC documentaion you can define a function/procedure to be
inlined with the "inline" keyword, e.g.

  inline function Max (a, b : Integer);
  begin
    (* CODE *)
  end;  

This does not work in the 970714 distribution (DJGPP precompiled binary). 
However the

  __inline__          

keyword (two underscores before and after inline) *is* recognized by the
compiler, and correctly inlines the function/procedure  (when compiled with
optimization, of course).
