Think about this for a second: "static" means file scope, so obviously you 
can't reference the symbol from another file. And non-static inlines can't 
actually be inlined because they may be called from elsewhere or have their 
addresses taken. So inline is useless to you. Just use an appropriate -O option 
that does whole-program transformation.

Here's the gcc manual on inline: http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Inline.html

Also, this isn't a Cocoa question. You might want to pick up a book on C.
