No, only functions with a body that are defined inside of the class declaration are implicitly inline, everything else must be marked inline at definition. What *might* work, and I've not tested this with gcc, is the use of a pre-compiled heeader that includes your a.h file so that it isn't constantly parsed and defined. corey
