Well, not being 100% sure myself about this flag, I also use the -Winline flag
which is supposed to turn on warnings when functions that are declared inline 
can
not be inlined. Since I don't get any warnings I believe it is working. But I 
only
*believe* it :)
What's the motiviation behind using the -fno-inline flag anyway? What could be 
bad
about inline functions?
