# inline-max-per-routine, Qinline-max-per-routine

Specifies the maximum number of times the inliner may inline into a particular routine.

## Syntax

Linux: | -inline-max-per-routine=n -no-inline-max-per-routine

macOS: | -inline-max-per-routine=n -no-inline-max-per-routine

Windows: | /Qinline-max-per-routine=n /Qinline-max-per-routine-

## Arguments

n | Is a positive integer that specifies the maximum number of times the inliner may inline into a particular routine.

## Default

-no-inline-max-per-routine or /Qinline-max-per-routine- | The compiler uses default heuristics for inline routine expansion.

## Description

This option specifies the maximum number of times the inliner may inline into a particular routine. It limits the number of times that inlining can be applied to any routine.

If you specify -no-inline-max-per-routine (Linux* and macOS*) or /Qinline-max-per-routine- (Windows*), there is no limit to the number of times some routine may be inlined into a particular routine.

To see compiler values for important inlining limits, specify option [q or Q]opt-report.

### CAUTION

When you use this option to increase the default limit, the compiler may do so much additional inlining that it runs out of memory and terminates with an "out of memory" message.
