s/directloy/directly/g in the comments.
Also, this seems inordinately silly. :)
Assuming you don't plan to copy other LGPLed code into this library (or
more specifically the header file), you might consider just adding an
explicit exception at the top, saying that the inline functions in this
file may be assumed to qualify for the relevant clause of the LGPL,
regardless of their length. (You'd probably want to limit that
exception to only the code in the header, not any other code in the
library, so someone couldn't just copy the whole library into the
headers.)
