Hello,
AFAIK, unnamed namespaces are dangerous in headers. There is a commentary just above the function definition:

But it seems the better thing would be to define it inline. It is exactly because it can be used in several translation units that it can cause an ODR violation if defined in a unnamed namespace AFAIK.
I have no problem with declaring it inline, but that's just a suggestion. The compiler is completely free to generate code for it out-of-line. -- Marshall Marshall Clow Idio Software <mailto:mclow.lists@gmail.com> A.D. 1517: Martin Luther nails his 95 Theses to the church door and is promptly moderated down to (-1, Flamebait). -- Yu Suzuki
