Inline expansion
Inline expansion or inlining for short is a compiler optimization which "expands" a function call site into the actual implementation of the function which is called, rather than each call transferring control to a common piece of code. The intent of performing this optimization is to improve runtime performance, at the possible cost of increasing the size of the final program.
