Friend functions - inlining 1

[pipk]

Why does Visual C++ insist that I inline all friend functions? It is not a major problem but I just wondered if I had configured it properly.

What the error is? John Fill

I am declaring friend functions (such as overloading << and >> operators)prototypes in my class header file, and putting the function body with my member function bodies into my cpp file. It is causing compilation errors as though VC++ cannot recognise friend functions unless the whole function is inlined within the class definition.

Just wondered if i was doing something wrong.

Inline function you can define and implement only in the same (.h) file and place with declaration. John Fill

aah, many thanks

I am used to C++ on Unix and am trying to get used to the differences. At least I now know it is a difference and not something I am doing wrong.
