Inline function question

[yyoni69]

Hi
in the code below, the function someFunc can't be inline function and the function otherFunc can be inline. someone can explain why?

struct Base1{
	virtual void foo(){}
};

struct Derived1: Base1{
	void foo(){}
};

void someFunc(Base1* obj){ obj->foo(); }
 void otherFunc(){ Derived1 s; s.foo(); }

Did you tell the compile that you you want it inlined?

inline void someFunc(Base1* obj){ obj->foo(); }
inline void otherFunc(){ Derived1 s; s.foo(); }

Note that this won't guarantee that it is inlined. It's just a hint.

yes i inlined those functions and when i call them in main() the first function show error and the second is fine
i dont know why the first cant be inlined
