Re: Templates and Non-Inline Functions

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Do you know of any references that discuss the size of a function being used
by Visual C++ to determine whether or not the function will be inline or
not?

Thanks.

Yes you did. SomethingElse is not marked as inline and the body is not
within the class definition, so it's not going to be inlined.

Unless, of course, the compiler thinks it is a good idea to do that
anyway. :-)

If the function really is just a "return somethingelse", the compiler
might inline it however you define it.

Also, even if you specifically ask for a function to be inlined, the
compiler isn't required to obey. Sometimes it's not possible anyway.


The safest way to avoid inlining is to make the function too big.
