I guess it's possible. If you inlined a frequently called large function you would increase the size of the EXE. Remember that the compiler has the last say however: it doesn't have to inline a function you've marked as inline if it decides it's not worth it.

I'm going to do some experimenting to see if making some functions inline has any real world effect

1) Do you use it?

2) How do you decide when to use it?

__inline int MyClass::GetVar() const { return myVar; }

for(int i = 0; i < iSomeLimit;++i)
{
    DoWork(SomeArray[i]); //This function might benefit from inline expansion.
}

3) Do you ever actually measure the benifit of using it?

4) Can using it ever degrade performance?

5) Can the effect of using it vary on different hardware or operating systems?

Heres a good tip. The only 100% sure method to have your function inlined is to use the #define keyword.

Why are you using the heap for this?

There is a function named "int GetCurrentProcess(HANDLE,DWORD)" that does this in the user32.dll.

So I used LoadLibrary to load the dll and I used GetProcAddress to get the address of the function. But I can't figure out how to call the function.

HMODULE myDll = LoadLibrary("user32.dll");
void* myFunc = GetProcAddress(myDll, "GetGuiResources");
