inline is not ANSI C

MIPS PRO compilers did not work with inline unless u use API specific
tools

configure arranges to #define inline as empty if your compiler doesn't
take it. Is that not working as expected in your case?

No it is not working as expected, I'd to remove them at my own.

I think u can not make a unix standard open source dbase if u don't
respect standards, OS must evolve, not applications

The recent C standards have inline.

Per Tom Lane's response, there are provisions in the configuration step
to define "inline" as an empty macro for the preprocessor. So it just
goes away from the source code for compilers which do not support it.

Tom inquired whether that configuration step seems to not produce the
right result for you (it sounds like it doesn't). Actually removing
"inline" from the source code is not required.

Try running configure again and check the results. Let us know what you
find.

Would you look at configure's test for this and find out why it fails
to detect that inline doesn't work? As the only one with access to
the problem compiler, you cannot expect anyone else to fix this;
it's your responsibility to improve the configure test so it gets the
right answer on your platform.

TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to majordomo@postgresql.org

by now in 7.2b4 configure is not working as expected, I will try b5 when I
can.
It may be because MIPS Pro compilers have inlining tools, but in cannot be
used as in gcc inline is an special type, can not be used as integer inline
