Not sure what you mean, please clarify with code (I'm gonna be away for for
few days).

As you'll be aware from C (and "register") "inline" is merely a hint that
compiler ought to do "stuff". GCC is better at this than most - a good
example of "inline failures" is borland (stonkingly fast compiler but pays
for it in this respect). Same applies for C++ I'm afraid - "inline" is
today's "register". Aka - the fact "inline" is in the C++ vocabulary means
absolutely nothing - compiler is at liberty to do as it will.
