For design reasons (circular dependency) I dont want the body of certain functions in the class definition. For example I DONT want this:
// in vec2.h file:
...
class vec2_t
{
...
inline vec2_t( const vec3_t& v3 ): x(v3.x), y(v3.y) {}
...
};
...
But instead I WANT this:
// in vec2.h file:
...
class vec2_t
{
...
vec2_t( const vec3_t& v3 );
...
};
...
// in vec2.cpp file:
...
vec2_t::vec2_t( const vec3_t& v3 ): x(v3.x), y(v3.y)
{}
...
I know that its good practice to make the small functions inline but in my case I cannot.
First question: Will gcc be able to understand and make this kind of small functions inline (with -O3 for example)?
I read about Link Time Optimizations and -flto but it seems this is a new feature (I cannot use it yet).
Second question: If I convert my code and ditch every inline I have, will -flto make the small functions inline for me?
Thanks in advance!
