This is not true as others have pointed out. In fact you can't do this if
you want virtual inlines. For virtual inlines you have to do it outside
the class definition - and you have to provide a non inline version for
the virtual function table.

usualy you it with some ugly #if #endif:


#if defined (_XXX_CPP_)
#   define inline
#endif

inline void 
MyClass::myFunc ()
  {
  }

#if defined (_XXX_CPP_)
#   undef inline
#endif

And yes: the Ada solution is so much better.

Martin
