You CAN use inlines in .cc files, but only for statically used functions.

GCC acts perfectly.


If you define an inline function in .cc files, no symbol is ever generated
by the compiler (obviously, since no separate function exists).  Similarly,
when declared in a .h file, no symbol is created.  Remember, .h files are
nothing special, they are just textually included into the .cc files.  I'm
not sure the compiler proper ever even looks at actual .h files, since they
should be merged in by the pre-processor.
