That's not true, your example with an inline member function demonstrates that the compiler must be changed to support your proposal, so that functions defined inline are given a non-inline definition that can be linked to by other translation units. If it was a copy'n'paste job, it could be done by an external tool, which you've disputed. Anyway, you don't seem to be convincing anyone of your proposal, but if you want to see it in gcc you are free to download and modify the source, or pay someone else to do it for you.
