Subject: Question for compiler gurus

Author: Dan Honeycutt

If I have an inline function, ie:

_inline int Distance(int square1, int square2)

which is going to return the max rank/file difference but is not going to alter
the arguements, would I be better off passing the arguements by reference, ie:

_inline int Distance(int & square1, int & square2)

so as to save having to make a copy of the arguements.  Or would the compiler
figure that out on it's own since the function is inline?  I'm using MS VC 6.

Thanks
