About the functions in the utils file.

[Yujie-Cui]

Thanks a lot for the code you made public. This is a huge help for me. I want to reuse the code inside.
But I found a problem: in your cache_utils.c file, you use a lot of inline functions.

Shouldn't inline functions be written in header files? If it is written in the implementation file, how does it work?
The compiler compiles each individual implementation file into an object file, which is then linked together. An inline function, on the other hand, requires that the function be inserted directly where it is called. If it is written in the implementation file, when other files are generating the object file, they cannot know the content of the inline function, and cannot be inserted.

Does this seem unreasonable? Not sure if my understanding is correct?

Thanks!!!
