linebreak with \lstinline

Question

Why does \lstinline not break lines correctly like with \begin{lstlisting}? The text goes over the documentborder with \lstinline.

Thank you!

\documentclass{scrreprt}

\usepackage{listings}

\lstset
{
    breaklines=true,
    breakatwhitespace=true,
    frame=lines,
    basicstyle=\ttfamily,
}

\begin{document}

    \begin{lstlisting}            
someverylongcode, whichneedssomelinebreak hereandthere, becauseotherwiseitwouldgooverthedocumentborder
    \end{lstlisting}

\lstinline[language=C]!someverylongcode, whichneedssomelinebreak hereandthere, becauseotherwiseitwouldgooverthedocumentborder!

\end{document}

Answer 1

\lstinline can do linebreaks, but it doesn't stretch the spaces and so it only works in a \raggedright or \sloppy context:

\documentclass{scrreprt}

\usepackage{listings}

\lstset
{
    breaklines=true,
}

\begin{document}

\lstinline[language=C]!someverylongcode, whichneedssomelinebreak hereandthere, becauseotherwiseitwouldgooverthedocumentborder!

\raggedright
\lstinline[language=C]!someverylongcode, whichneedssomelinebreak hereandthere, becauseotherwiseitwouldgooverthedocumentborder!

\end{document}
