Re: [wwwdocs] Update coding conventions for C++
Hey Lawrence, thanks for this work and for keeping the public
up-to-date with this gcc-patches posting.
This looks pretty good to me.
The only remaining issue for me is the
fuzzyness/handwaving around inlining. I think the only way to really
enforce "what can be inlined" is not to have people use their best
judgement, or what they think is a small function, or what they
intend for the compiler to inline, but to have -Winline mandatory. And
thus flag things that are written as inlined, but cannot then be
inlined by the compiler.
This area seems historically fraught, in terms of expectations. I'm not
trying to poke at the hornets nest here.
