You're obviously not a C++ programmer.  C++ includes inline functions,
which are
defined in header files.  These most emphatically do generate code.

If you have g++ and libg++ on your system, look at the file Complex.h in
the include
directory, for example.  Essentially all the code to implement complex
arithmetic
is in the header file, not a library, so that operations on complex
numbers will be
nearly as fast as if complex numbers were built in.
