 /* The following semantics apply to inline in C99:
    - inline: No generation of an extern visible function. May inline or may call the external function.
    - extern inline: externally visible code is emitted, so at most one translation unit can use this.
    - static inline: No generation of an extern visible function. May inline or may call one static function.

-/* If the user requests to only define the prototypes (M_USE_EXTERN_DECL),
-   use the "inline" semantic of the C99 and requests no inlining to the compiler.
-   Then it needs to define in at most one translation unit (M_USE_EXTERN_DEF) to define the functions.
-   This is only supported by GCC and CLANG.
+/* If the user requests to use only declaration for all M*LIN functions (M_USE_EXTERN_DECL),
+   it requests no inlining to the compiler and emits code as weak symbol.
+   Then at most one translation unit should request the definition of all functions (M_USE_EXTERN_DEF).
+   This is only supported by GCC and CLANG. You should also use the options -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections -Wl,--gc-sections
+   Otherwise it would increase the size of the executable.
    If M_USE_EXTERN_FINE_GRAINED, then uses a mechanism to decl or def the functions in function of M_USE_EXTERN_FINE_DECL / M_USE_EXTERN_FINE_DEF
    Otherwise uses the classic "M_INLINE" (inline for C++ or static inline for C)
    inline in C++ as a weak definition by default, which may reduce code size in executable.
