Re: [boost] Is there a special reason to use inline before template functions?

I didn't look at the code, but if these member functions are declared in the class definition, they are already inline and this keyword is not needed.

Some compilers disable default inlining under certain configurations. GCC has -fno-default-inline for instance. Some libraries might explicitly put inline there to support these configurations. -- Michael Marcin
