Is changing a public fun to public inline fun binary and source compatible?

[ilya.gorbunov]

Yes it should be. The inverse however (inline -> not inline) is not source compatible.

[rocketraman]

Thank you, that's what I thought, but wanted to confirm!

[ilya.gorbunov]

Note also that changing inline to inline + reified is not binary compatible

[karelpeeters]

Why isn't the reverse source compatible?

[rocketraman]

Because an inline fun can do things a non-inline fun can't e.g. contain suspending functions if the call-site is suspending

[rocketraman]

Or non-local returns

[karelpeeters]

Forgot about those 😏.
