   Michael,

	   This goes back to an earlier discussion we had as to whether
   -finline-functions should be the default.  Consider the following:

   #ifdef DEBUG
   #define Inline static
   #else
   #define Inline inline

   class Foo {
	   void bar();
   };

   Inline bar() { /* a definition */ }
Is what you really mean ``Inline void Foo::bar ();''.  If so I don't
see a problem with just #defining ``Inline'' to nothing, since the
return type will save your function from not having a return type.

Michael
