Suppose I have a very simple function that I expect the compiler to inline it. But I may need to throw exception on seeing some invalid input, would that stop the compiler from inlining the function?

A compiler can refuse to inline for any reason. gcc lists reasons why it might not inline a function, but exception throwing is not among them. Also, the option -Winline will cause the compiler to issue a warning if it can’t inline a function that you marked as inline. You can try that and see if you are doing anything to prevent inlining.
