I'm wondering how the group would react to refactoring some of APR 2.0 to either offer inline code for many of our heavily consumed functions, or offering inline + fn implementations alongside one another?
Would it still be necessary in this day and age to support C compilers that do not support inline at all, e.g. hide the inline declarations based on some macro switch leaving only the function stub? We can obviously debate the merits of which functions are most prime for optimization, including how mature each is (due to the fact that the user will be 'stuck' with the implementation until they recompile their own code against a new release of apr in the event of a bug or security fix). Thoughts? Bill
