'inline' keyword in toker.cxs

[PixelPaladin]

I am not sure if this can be called a bug but there is a keyword in toker.cxs which is called 'inline'. I think it should be removed since it has no functionality.

Nice find, will check it!

I think it should be left in, in case inline is implemented.

Honestly, the absence of even a simple preprocessor-based inline in Monkey/Cerberus annoys me.

Say you want to use a 1D C-style array for speed in your 2D game (I do this a lot). With an inline option, GetSquare( x, y ) is transparently converted to squares[ x + y * ROWDELTA ]

Does nobody check the docs?
You will find that there are two reserved words: MODULE and INLINE.

They should be left in until something can be figured out how to implement them.

I had checked the index page, but there was no entry.
So is inline code still planned? If yes, we should keep it in.

@Gerry Quinn: For speed it is possible to use C/C++ macros and access them as extern functions. You can create extremely fast code this way. It is even possible to create Labels, Gotos and even jump tables. Of course it works only for the C++ based targets.

Keywords near the bottom.

Found it, thank you.
