CPython advertises itself as C89 compliant, and C89 doesn't have inlines. You need to go to C99 to get inlines. And before you ask--yes, we support a compiler that is not C99 compliant: Microsoft Visual C++. I'm pretty sure it does have inline support though. It's possible that every platform officially supported by CPython has a C compiler that supports inlines. I'm pretty sure people compile Python on unsupported platforms whose compilers don't have inlines (e.g. OS/2). Anyway, you'd have to get Guido to agree to breaking C89 compatibility, it's not something you could do locally on this patch without (most likely) a big drawn-out discussion on python-dev. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue20440> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
