You cannot force inlining in C(++) either. The inline keyword is only

I'm not understanding your last comment that a .lib would be required.
That's not correct, as since you're supplying the full source anyway
(needed for inlining), just compile in that source from the command
line. No lib step is needed.
Hinting wasn't enough, every major implementation have a forceinline
extension now.
So you know if something you asked is inlined or not.
There are all kinds of extensions popular in C++, but they are not part of
Standard C++.
