# auto_inline pragma

Excludes any functions defined within the range where **off** is specified from being considered as candidates for automatic inline expansion.

## Syntax

> **#pragma auto_inline(** [ { **on** | **off** } ] **)**

## Remarks

To use the **auto_inline** pragma, place it before and immediately after, not inside, a function definition. The pragma takes effect as soon as the first function definition after the pragma is seen.
