-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello group, I am trying to inline a function with gcc-3.4.4 on a linux x86_64 platform. The function I am trying to inline is in a header file: foo.h: inline int *your_func(int *a) { if (!a) return (NULL); return (*a++);} Any file that I compile that includes this header and code compiles without error: gcc -m64 -c -Wall -Winline -fPIC -O3 -o bar.o bar.c But when I try to link, I get a mess... /usr/bin/gcc -shared -Wl,--whole-archive -Wall -Winline -fPIC -o libfiles.so file.o libfoo.a -Wl,--no-whole-archive libfoo.a(file.o)(.text+0x0): In function `my_func': : multiple definition of `your_func' libfoo.a(bar.o)(.text+0x0): first defined here What could I be missing that will inline this function for me? Thanks, SH -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Note: This signature can be verified at https://www.hushtools.com/verify Version: Hush 2.4 wkYEARECAAYFAkPs/8EACgkQRBFe1uc9INoi7gCaAkhb9S5rcYWmyEwmvK34mILqH1UA oJmf9uXEUpXxMYmIYoil2WrYz246 =wiWt -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
