Re: Does order of inline function definitions matter?

[Mike]

It turns out that g++ does need to see the definition of b() in order
to inline it within a(), so you do need to order your inline functions
properly.  I came across the -Winline switch which tells you all the
reasons why functions are not being inlined.
