AFAIK, even with -inline, the compiler doesn't automatically inline functions in certain circumstances - for example, if they contain loops. Sometimes it is critical for the functions to be inlined - out of performance or security (obfuscation) reasons.

Either way, what are the disadvantages of such inline functions compared to the discussed expression types?
