 Useless code is always a mess, at least for maintenance.
 I'm really curios which problem you intend to solve - or is it
 just glib-fetishism ? ;-o

 We dont need any extra solution, just leave it as it was.

 Only if they can. As soon as you put the code in an extra .c file, which
 gets compiled separately, the compiler has no chance to do inline'ing.

 This would only make sense if you want to *enforce* inline'ing on
 an per-function basis. Is this really necessary ? Do you really feel
 more clever than the compiler on whether to inline certain specific
 function ?
