inline function and macros in C++

Hello,

Can anybody tell me the difference between inline function and macros in C++? Which one is efficient?

Thanks in advance.

Fundementally I guess you could consider them equivlents. Inline functions are way clearer then macros and just as efficient to use. The creation of inline functions pretty much makes using macro obsolete.... at least as far as using macros that have logic in them.

Hi,

Hmm... aren't macros considered lower level than c++ inline functions, or something like that? I would imagine that macros would be more efficient than inline functions.
