I think it should be. I don't have my copy of the first edition of
the C++ Programming Language handy, but I am pretty sure that inline
was described there. If so, then even early versions of cfront would
have accepted inline by the time that book was published. I would
expect that any useful C++ compiler should at least accept the inline
keyword.
