Fortunately... that decision is up to the optimizer. ;-)
I thought C++ required you to change the source code if you wanted
object code inlined, yes? I would think it exceptionally difficult to
inline code that isn't in the .h file included in the source that's
being compiled, yes? If it's already compiled and in a library, how
would the optimizer know you're getting the same value as the check is
using?
The "inline" keyword is strictly a hint, much like the "register" keyword.
Oh, and the beauty/horror of templates is that they get instantiated by
the compiler as it uses them. In a sense they are like type-aware
macros. You can have specific instantiations made available in a
library, but people typically only tend to do that with the STL (because
certain instances are so often used).
