inline functions problem

From the above article:
Wow, I thought _I_ sounded uppity.
It''s an interesting article, but I''d personally be afraid to do it. Maybe I''ll test it out here and there where appropriate, and of course be sure to check the disassembly. =)

One of the tensions in the C++ community is the pedagogical need to present a simple checklist set of rules versus the practical need to apply rules judiciously based on the situational context. The former is a response to the complexity of the language; the latter, to the complexity of the solutions we need to construct. The problem of when to declare virtual functions inline is a good illustration of this tension.
