I have been experimenting (and learning something about
c++) with the article in the Feb. issue of DDJ on
Multitasking Kernel.  I am using Zortech's v1.07 compiler.

On page 45, third column, the author of this article states: 
"C++ supports in-line functions, but, unfortunately, the 
Zortech compiler does not generate in-line code in all cases."

It is not clear why the author throws that comment in, 
as the comment doesn't seem to relate to the subject in that
paragraph.  

Anyhow, in several of my attempts to uncover cases when
the compiler does not properly handle inline, I have
not found any.  Has anyone found circumstances where the 
inline reserved word is used, the Zortech compiler will not
generate inline function code?  Could the author have been
working with any earlier version which did not generate this
code?
