I ran into following while porting software from sun3 into sun386.  In both
machines I had the designer C++ but different versions.

For example:

	class foo: {
		int val ;
	public:
		foo() ;
		value() { return val ;}
	} ;

produces a warning for member "value" not being defined as an inline in class
when compiled in sun386.  My questions is: Should it be defined (according
to the book or some other reference) as inlines.  At least the libraries we 
use (OOPS and InterViews) do not define functions like this as inlines 
which causes a lot warnings.

Any ideas which one is right ?
