The intrinsic pragma tells the compiler that a function has known behavior. The compiler may call the function and not replace the function call with *inline* instructions, if it will result in better performance.

Hi,<br />
<br />
What's the difference between inline and intrinsic functions? From what I can tell they both seem to instead copy the function contents to where it would be called to prevent function call overhead?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

MSVC 2K5 - Difference between inline and intrinsic?

C++ is an intermediate-level general-purpose programming language, not to be confused with C or C#. It was developed as a set of extensions to the C programming language to improve type-safety and add support for automatic resource management, object-orientation, generic programming, and exception handling, among other features.
