You need to add an explicit 'inline' specifier to any function defined out of class but in a header, regardless if it's a templatized function or not.
I don't think that this is true. ________________________________

If you have the same function defined in two translation units (because it is dragged into both via #include), it's a violation of the One Definition Rule unless the definitions have inline.
Or unless it's a template function, which is what I'm almost sure Peter was referring to. --Michael Fawcett
