However annotations work differently in the compiled code, so SMAPI can't rewrite them. That means mods which use annotations are more fragile; they may break without warning in future game/SMAPI/Harmony updates, and may not work on some platforms.

===What is inlining and why does it matter?===
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inline_expansion Inlining] is when the JIT takes a method call and sticks the body of the function called instead of emitting an actual call. If this happens, a harmony patch applied to the callee will not take effect.
The heuristics the JIT uses to decide whether or not to inline a method are not documented and are subject to change, but [https://stackoverflow.com/a/31467000/19366602 small, simple methods that do not throw exceptions] are the most likely to be inlined. Additionally, the heuristic seems to change between platform and platform, with mac being more aggressive than Windows.
