When should I use __forceinline instead of inline?

Question

Visual Studio includes support for __forceinline. The Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 documentation states:

The __forceinline keyword overrides the co

Actually, boost is loaded with it.

For example

 BOOST_CONTAINER_FORCEINLINE flat_tree&  operator=(BOOST_RV_REF(flat_tree) x)
    BOOST_NOEXCEPT_IF( (allocator_traits_type::propagate_on_container_move_assignment::value ||
                        allocator_traits_type::is_always_equal::value) &&
                         boost::container::container_detail::is_nothrow_move_assignable::value)
 {  m_data = boost::move(x.m_data); return *this;  }

 BOOST_CONTAINER_FORCEINLINE const value_compare &priv_value_comp() const
 { return static_cast(this->m_data); }

 BOOST_CONTAINER_FORCEINLINE value_compare &priv_value_comp()
 { return static_cast(this->m_data); }

 BOOST_CONTAINER_FORCEINLINE const key_compare &priv_key_comp() const
 { return this->priv_value_comp().get_comp(); }

 BOOST_CONTAINER_FORCEINLINE key_compare &priv_key_comp()
 { return this->priv_value_comp().get_comp(); }

 public:
 // accessors:
 BOOST_CONTAINER_FORCEINLINE Compare key_comp() const
 { return this->m_data.get_comp(); }

 BOOST_CONTAINER_FORCEINLINE value_compare value_comp() const
 { return this->m_data; }

 BOOST_CONTAINER_FORCEINLINE allocator_type get_allocator() const
 { return this->m_data.m_vect.get_allocator(); }

 BOOST_CONTAINER_FORCEINLINE const stored_allocator_type &get_stored_allocator() const
 {  return this->m_data.m_vect.get_stored_allocator(); }

 BOOST_CONTAINER_FORCEINLINE stored_allocator_type &get_stored_allocator()
 {  return this->m_data.m_vect.get_stored_allocator(); }

 BOOST_CONTAINER_FORCEINLINE iterator begin()
 { return this->m_data.m_vect.begin(); }

 BOOST_CONTAINER_FORCEINLINE const_iterator begin() const
 { return this->cbegin(); }

 BOOST_CONTAINER_FORCEINLINE const_iterator cbegin() const
 { return this->m_data.m_vect.begin(); }
