The problems, if any, are the same as for other member functions: Conceptually, encapsulation is at least partially broken if a class reveals (part of) its implementation details. "Physically", modifications on an inline member function require tranlation units depending on the definition of the member's class to be recompiled. Modifications of encapsulated member functions' definitions only require the translation unit containing the modified member functions' definitions to be recompiled. This can be a huge difference. _______________________________________________ Help-gplusplus mailing list Help-gplusplus@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gplusplus
