Thread: Function call: how does it cost?

Hi guys,
I have a bigger function that calls, in mean 1000-2000 times, a smaller function. I "discover" that calling the smaller function make the code very slow. Is there any hint to fix it? I read about inline functions, but they did not help me...
Thank you!

Declaring the function inline is your best bet, unless you want to turn the smaller function into a macro. Besides declaring the function as inline, the definition of the function should also be available to the caller, i.e., you may need to place it in the header, contrary to normal separation of forward declarations of functions in header files and their definitions in source files.

awesome! Now the code takes half of the time. I did not put the inline function in the header, but after your advise I did it and it works! Thank you!
