C has an inline feature.  See the INLINE parameter on the crt commands. 
You can get it to inline automatically with 
  INLINE(*YES *AUTO)
or you can explicitly say which functions you want inlined with
  INLINE(*YES *NOAUTO)
and then using #pragma inline to specify the functions you want inlined.

(It's true that RPG doesn't have an inline feature.)
