Inline is a request to the compiler , i.e it may get rejected for the following reasons,
1) If there is recursion (recursion have stack over stack, but inline don't have stack)
2) If static variable is available inside inline function
3) if function definition and implementation are available at different files
4) If there is a function pointer to inline function
