Closes #3845
Yes, on the one hand, when using maximum optimization, automatic inline functions might be slightly affect performance, but at the same time it gives a huge problem to modders who used to make changes to each individual function using third-party tools (HLAE, bxt-rs, Orpheu, amxmodx and etc). So automatic inlines should be always disabled (unless if they are not forced in the code itself by the developer in the form of
inline voide.g.).@shawns-valve - these changes should also be applied to the engine as well, not just to game libraries!
