C/C++ "inline" keyword in CUDA device-side code
<p>I am total "newbie", when it comes to CUDA. So if my question is trivial, pardon me. </p>

<p>Does nvcc understands meaning of <code>inline</code> C keyword? <Br>
I know about <code>__forceinline__</code>, and similar nvcc "macros", therefor I am not asking how to write <code>inline</code> cuda device-side code. <Br>
I know also, that my code is "split" between nvcc and c/c++ compiler (I am using Visual Studio IDE). <Br> Does that mean <code>inline</code> keyword is ignored by nvcc when it "stands next to" <code>__device__</code> or <code>__global__</code> kernels? <Br> <Br></p>

<p><strong><em>Edit:</em></strong> <Br>
P.S. I had searched cuda programing guide. I could not find anything useful under <code>inline</code> entry, similar "tags" does not help either. </p>
