 Message        <Context> "<name>" has internal linkage and is
                referenced from an an inline auxiliary function.
                This is a violation of the C99 Standard.

 Description    A function declared with the inline keyword and
                without a declaration containing the keyword, extern,
                or without a declaration which lacks the inline
                keyword and the static keyword declares an auxiliary
                inline declaration.  A definition of an auxiliary
                inline shall not contain a definition of a modifiable
                object with static storage duration, and shall not
                contain a reference to an identifier with internal
                linkage.

 User Action    Remove the inline keyword from all declarations of
                the parent function, or if it is appropriate, change
                the declaration of the referenced item to a
                declaration which has something other than internal
                linkage.
