FWIW:
GASNet makes the assumption that every C++ compiler groks "inline" and has never encountered any counter-examples.

Huh -- really?  I always thought that the C++ language itself

I asked via Twitter and got these responses..

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
