I asked via Twitter and got these responses..
# Inline was part of C++98 - the first c++ standard, and
# the inline kwd is in the cfront 1.0 ('86) source. So
# functionally, yes.
...and...
# This may be a different question than "have all C++

I note that autoconf has an inline test for C:
http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf-2.67/html_node/C-Compiler.html
But not for C++:
http://www.gnu.org/savannah-checkouts/gnu/autoconf/manual/autoconf-2.69/html_node/C_002b_002b-Compiler.html
So perhaps the fact that they've never needed to implement
such a test is in itself a good guide ?
cheers,
Chris
