Hi, I have a class like this mesh.h class Mesh { public: ... inline int GetMaterial(); private: ... int materialIndex; }; and in mesh.cpp inline int Mesh :: GetMaterial() { return materialIndex; } But when Visual C++ links, there''s an unresolved external error: Mesh::GetMaterial If I define it like this in the class int GetMaterial() { return materialIndex; }; it works Why ? Thanks

I believe that the inline function code must be in the .h... like

//--a.h--
class a
{
public:
void foo();
};

inline void a::foo()
{
}

that should work, if not, don''t kill me

It doesn''t have to be, but don''t specify inline twice.

I think it has to be in the *.h to work correctly. I made really weird experiences exporting inline functions to *.cpp.
Sometimes, I got a compiler error, sometimes it compiled, but didn''t inline and so on. (compiled with BCB5)
