adj

  1. Alternative spelling of in-line.

noun

  1. An element that occurs within the flow of the text.

    Bold and italic tags are inline elements.

verb

  1. To optimize using in-line expansion.

    Some compilers will allow statics to be inlined, but then incorrectly create multiple instances of the inlined variable at run-time.

    Because functions that contain references to this cannot be inlined, the Compiler's ability to devirtualize prototype methods is even more important in terms of reducing the size of compiled code. By devirtualizing methods and removing references to this, more methods become functions that are candidates for inlining.
