Inline functions

It would be wonderful to have inline functions, adding an inline keywork just like in c++

inline function my_function_name()
// whatever
endfunction

I'm often forced to rewrite code when performance is critical, I'd really like to avoid this with inline function

Why no reply for this? Is it useless for everyone but me?
If the devs think it's too complex to code for the benefit it could give, I can understand, but please let me know your opinion ^_^

I like the idea, myself, if it's feasible and would give benefits in the scripting engine thingy. My bet, though, is that it would be mis-used to high heaven. I can picture script with every single function inlined, now!

Extremely difficult for us to implement right now and theres more important things like the lost gotten items on world save, what happens to secure trade items during a save, etc.

Were gonna try to push release candidates for 097 pretty soon.

I agree with your point, this is a plus which can wait, I hope you'll take it into cosideration when basic features are stable ^_^

Definately something to wait on. I know Austin and myself have been wanting to begin RC soon, but there are a few critical issues to resolve in this core before we can do such. Which means putting off requests and so on till they can be handled and done with.
