@Allan Wang i am pretty sure all functions on line classes are also inlined when possible, so specifying inline there seems redundant

[Allan Wang]

The docs define it as calling length using a static method, so I figured it would be different from actually being inline

can val even be inlined ? not sure there.. f it can then yes it would be better

[Allan Wang]

A val with a getter can be inlined

[Dico]

On the JVM, static calls are inlined anyway. There is no performance overhead. This is called premature optimization 🙂

[Allan Wang]

A bit off topic, but does that mean that every extension function is inline, since they become static calls? Do static methods not contribute to method counts at all?

[gildor]

Static methods of course add method counts same as inline functions.
You still need a way to call them from Java or using reflection.
The only exclusion: inline functions annotated with @InlineOnly annotation which is internal and not available for you own code, only for stdlib

@Nikky no, functions on inline classes are not inlined by the kotlin compiler
