Isn't this because we're trying to compile that file as C code as opposed to C++
code? The "inline" keyword is available in the C++ language only. What do we do
with gcc? Does gcc erroneously allow the "inline" keyword in the C language?
I think a more semantically correct fix would be:
#if defined(__cplusplus)
// use prototype with inline
#else
// use prototype without inline
#endif
