A few questions: > > - what does the C++ standard say about "extern inline" compared with > "inline" In C++ global inline functions must always be defined in the same compilation unit as their declaration. By default "inline" means "extern inline" -- if not explicitly declared static. This is the case in GSL already (and probably required by C as well). > - is it affected by the extern "C" { .. } around these definitions Wohoo -- dunno for sure. Stroustrup "The C++ Programming language", special edition 2004, p.206: ,---- | An /extern "C"/ directive specifies the linkage convention (only) | and does not affect the semantics of calls to the function. ... `---- In my understanding this means that only the linkage-name is altered, nothing else. > - have you tried this on any other compilers Other than? ;) No, I only have GCC. Maybe someone could try this on one of these compile-farms around? Is that possible? Anybody here still using a DEC-, IBM-, PG-, or Sun-compiler or such?
