Works fine for Sun CC 5.3+, HP-UX aCC A.03.37+, IBM xlC 6.0+, Tru64 UNIX cxx 6.5+, GCC, and IRIX CC 7.4+. I cannot speak for anything else. The correct solution is checking for 'inline' for whatever the current language is. Of course, this means programmers cannot use 'inline' for C and C++ which is counterintuitive so the patch might be good enough. -- albert chin ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
