Hi,

I would like to know if there would be any meaning of declaring an
exported function as inline ?
I am writing a dynamic library(DLL) to hold my trace functions and for
performance reason could I declare them inlined ?
If yes what does it mean ?

One doesn't preclude the other. Of course, when an exported function is
inlined, you might as well be linking statically WRT compilation
dependencies, because the DLL's code becomes part of its client's code.
