Sorry for text speak in the title. I couldn't fit it all in properly.

Is there a difference in these?:

inline void foo();

and

void inline foo();

I have a feeling there isn't but I'd like to be sure and which one has become programming convention.

Thanks.

No difference. It's just more awkward to interpolate between the type and specifiers like inline.

Note that your compiler isn't required to honor a request to make a function inline, and doing so doesn't necessarily give you a speed advantage. In fact it can sometimes slow things down and use extra memory.

But if I turn off all optimizations on my compiler in the settings, then it will compile inline for sure, right?

Not necessarily. The inline specifier is only a hint to the compiler, the compiler may ignore this hint. See this link Inline functions.
