Note that this is impossible.  The compiler is free to inline *any*
function.  If the address of a function is taken, the compiler must
emit code for a non-inlined version, but this is independent from
whether the function is defined inline or not.  And even if a
non-inlined version is present, the compiler still can inline other
calls.  Bottom line: it doesn't matter whether you define functions in
the header or not, at least as far as inlining in concerned.

Cheers,
