You are working on a large-scale application with multiple developers. One of your responsibilities is to design a library of functions to perform common tasks. What considerations might guide your decisions on when to use inline functions and default arguments? 

  • Only use default arguments to ensure backward compatibility. 
  • Use inline functions for all small computations irrespective of frequency. 
  • Use inline functions selectively based on performance metrics. 
  • Apply default arguments to simplify function calls.
When designing a library for a large-scale application, inline functions should be used selectively, especially when performance metrics indicate a clear benefit. Meanwhile, default arguments can simplify function calls but should be used judiciously to maintain clarity.
