I will need to have them (multiple statements) for the cycle collection code, and I don't think there are many situations involving changing the way reference counting is done where only one statement is sufficient. In any case, it's good future-proofing. > nops. The Zend engine redefines the inline keyword itself somewhere. Hmm. I did not know that. Where? A quick grep doesn't seem to show anything significant. And I do know (experimentally) that a vast number of supposed "inline" functions aren't actually inlined currently because the compiler decides it doesn't want to do it. It gave me a lot of problems when I was trying to optimize my gc code.
