https://github.com/felix642 created https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/73069

This checks find usages of the inline keywork where it is already implicitly defined by the compiler and suggests it's removal.

Fixes #72397

+readability-redundant-inline-specifier
+=================
+
+Checks for instances of the `inline` keyword in code where it is redundant
+and recommends its removal.
+
+Examples:
+
+.. code-block:: c++
+
+   constexpr inline void f() {}
+
+In the example abvove the keyword `inline` is redundant since constexpr
+functions are implicitly inlined
+
+.. code-block:: c++
+   class MyClass {
+       inline void myMethod() {}
+   };
+
+In the example above the keyword `inline` is redundant since member functions
+defined entirely inside a class/struct/union definition are implicitly inlined.
+
+The token `inline` is considered redundant in the following cases:
+
+- When it is used in a function definition that is constexpr.
+- When it is used in a member function definition that is defined entirely
+  inside a class/struct/union definition.
+- When it is used on a deleted function. 
+- When it is used on a template declaration.
+- When it is used on a member variable that is constexpr and static.
