How does C++ handle function call overhead in inline functions?

  1. By using the preprocessor

  2. By allocating additional memory

  3. By eliminating type checking

  4. All of the above

The correct answer is: By using the preprocessor

C++ handles function call overhead in inline functions by using the preprocessor. This allows the function body to be copied directly into the calling code, reducing the need for a separate function call. The other options, such as allocating additional memory or eliminating type checking, may have been used in other programming languages or strategies, but they are not specifically used in C++ to address function call overhead in inline functions. Therefore, they are incorrect options. As for the option "All of the above", while it may seem like a plausible answer, it is not entirely accurate as "allocating additional memory" and "eliminating type checking" are not specific techniques used in C++ for this purpose.
