Not quite true: only the first occurrence of a template function, the one that causes the expansion of the template cannot be inlined. This is a problem with the design of the template expansion code and long recognized by the maintainers as a bug. This problem is fixed in the 2.8.0 snapshots, which has a new template implementation. >There is a "G++ only" workaround (source code hack) in the latest >compiler No, the workaround (explicit template expansion) is to write standard (draft ANSI/ISO standard) code to explicitly expand the template; all occurrences will then be inlined. -- -- Joe Buck http://www.synopsys.com/pubs/research/people/jbuck.html Help stamp out Internet spam: see http://www.vix.com/spam/
