Are we sure this does not break ABI ? From https://community.kde.org/Policies/Binary_Compatibility_Issues_With_C%2B%2B , changing an existing function of any type to inline is not allowed:
You cannot :
For existing functions of any type:
[Unexport](https://community.kde.org/Policies/Binary_Compatibility_Examples#Unexport_a_function) it.
Remove it.
Remove the implementation of existing declared functions. The symbol comes from the implementation of the function, so this is effectively the function.
[Inline](https://community.kde.org/Policies/Binary_Compatibility_Examples#Inline_a_function) it (this includes moving a member function's body to the class definition, even without the inline keyword).
That's a good question. I don't know and I'm not sure how to check. @j-rivero thoughts? |

Since this an important bugfix and we already have this merged in galactic (probably breaking ABI), I'm inclined to approve this but would like to hear @j-rivero 's and @chapulina's thoughts.

Since this isn't released into Galactic, we can still decide to revert the change, though I'm inclined to keep it since it is a bugfix. |
Sorry for arriving late. I'm also under the impression that this is ABI breaking change, something that historically we have tried to avoid in the released versions of the repo although I've been without watching it for long. My C++ is a bit rusty but if I'm not wrong: the templates should generate the needed functions (and binary symbols) at compilation time for the different instantiations of the consumers, if we make them inline then the binary symbols for the function won't be generated. |
Port #1367 to Foxy.
