I read that with inline functions where ever the function call is made we replace the function call with the body of the function definition.
According to the above explanation there should not be any function call when inline
is user.
If that is the case Why do I see three call
instructions in the assembly code ?
#include <iostream>
inline int add(int x, int y)
{
return x+ y;
}
int main()
{
add(8,9);
add(20,10);
add(100,233);
}
