The
form of a
pragma
Inline, which is a program unit pragma (see

Legality Rules
4
The
pragma
shall apply to one or more callable entities or generic subprograms.
Static Semantics
5
If a
pragma
Inline applies to a callable entity, this indicates that inline expansion
is desired for all calls to that entity. If a
pragma
Inline applies to a generic subprogram, this indicates that inline expansion
is desired for all calls to all instances of that generic subprogram.
Implementation Permissions
6
For each call, an implementation is free to follow
or to ignore the recommendation expressed by the
pragma.
