+<p>
+This macro is used to export function prototypes so they can be linked
+with an external version when no inlining is performed. The file which
+implements the functions should define <code class="literal">G_IMPLEMENTS_INLINES</code>
+before including the headers which contain <a class="link" href="glib-Miscellaneous-Macros.html#G-INLINE-FUNC:CAPS" title="G_INLINE_FUNC"><code class="literal">G_INLINE_FUNC</code></a> declarations.
+Since inlining is very compiler-dependent using these macros correctly
+is very difficult. Their use is strongly discouraged.
+</p>
+<p>
+This macro is often mistaken for a replacement for the inline keyword;
+inline is already declared in a portable manner in the glib headers
+and can be used normally.
