But by definition shared libraries are shared code you are going to load at run time. What if between the time your app was compiled and the time your app was run the add function in the shared library changed? You would have the wrong version of the function inlined.

Ah, true... what I said makes no sense. Thanks.

Of course that doesn't speak to the fact that a smarter dynamic loading capability couldn't inline at runtime. That is what they are doing after all.
